what sort of camera are you looking for? Compact, bridge or SLR?

If you want to buy new try here

For example a Canon 1000D + kit lens is £332 - the equivalent Nikon is similar. That would leave a few quid in the kitty for a memory card and a card reader - enough to get going smile

Have a look at Sony Alphas. See if you can find an A350.................it may not be new but is a cracking bit of kit and lots of old SLR lenses that will fit it as you grow into it. Sony is the revamped Konica Minolta range, greatly updated, and most of the previous K M film lenses fit precisely.

Nothing to lose by looking.
