Cex gave a nikon d3200 online used for 225 with 24 month warranty and kit lens. Will do both well and give you scope to improve lenses if you wanted to expand

Look for secondhand, much more bang for your buck. Recently got a Canon M3 for £230, can be as easy to use as a point and shoot or as complex as a DSLR. Plus has a flippy up screen for selfie and stuff like that if you want!

Are you looking for a general camera or do you have a genre you want it for, I.e landscape, animals, people etc?

I’d also recommend secondhand. Have a great camera shop local to me and they are very helpful when picking out one right for your needs. You’ll likely get better for your money.

Cex is you want peace of mind as you get a 24 month warranty.

In the west.

I like Canon. I have had mine for years and I use a Tamron lense with it.

I have this model Nikon D3200 DSLR with video capabilities. Highly recommended.

Somewhere you can go and see it, hopefully try it out (Cex won't let you handle the cameras because of Covid). Canon vs Nikon is much of a muchness really. I use Canon DSLR's so the M3 fits my workload, I know the menus, it made sense. Go with whatever feels right for you

Nikon Coolpix B500 Bridge Camera is a great entry camera with video and should come in under £250. I'd recommend if your using for content creation x

OP it sounds as though a DSLR may be a bit OTT for you.

I'd probably look at an advanced compact, something like the Panasonic TZ series. These give decent quality, a good zoom range & simple video capabilities too.

With your budget you’re looking at used or an inexpensive compact camera. (Currys had the excellent Panasonic LX15 recently for £260). But it depends on what content you are creating? A very high end smartphone may be a more appropriate fit for you. With cameras, there is always another accessory required!
