well if you could get an iphone it can take quality pictures but it is way more than 80, maybe if you pair it with other stuff you need.

your other option could be to get a point and shoot, but i don't know a good one for 80 bucks.

$80 bucks isnt going to get you far... you could find a decent used film camera for about that much and would really help you out learning about apperature and lighting and such... look for something used if youre set on digital

your never going to get a dslr for $80 but you can get an old canon film slr easily for this price, use b&w film and process it yourself then progress to digital its the only way to become a good photographer
