students of architecture go for study trips visiting landscapes, monuments, buildings etc. as a part of their study they have to take photographs. the equipment need to be sturdy. it shall be less expensive. functional type. Well the best camera/lens combination for architecture is a 4x5 view camera with a 90mm superwide lens, but I don't see you dragging one of those around and of course just a couple of boxes of film will cost you nearly your whole budget.
So, that leaves you with finding a good used 35mm SLR and a PC (perspective control) wide angle lens (28mm or 35mm). Of course you will need some kind sturdy tripod, so you can level your camera so you don't get too much distortion if you use a non-PC wide angle lens (like a 20mm) when shooting interiors..
Wide angle lenses used to shoot architectural images will be well suited for shooting landscapes as well. canon a570
All of the major brands are good. Choose a brand that appeals to you. Then you have to think about getting a spare battery, what size memory card, if you want an extended warranty, how much you can afford, what size zoom, if you want manual controls, the size of the camera, finding a reliable place to purchase it, and the list goes on and on and on.......
The first thing to realize is that almost any digital camera will take good pictures. If more people would read the manual more than once, they would be able to take better pictures. Usually, the person assumes it is the camera when it could be them not knowing exactly what to do. Just give yourself more photographic knowledge by doing more reading on the internet.
I really believe buying a camera is an individual choice.
The person needs to read alot of reviews on cameras so they can decide on the features that they really want and need.
Go to the store and hold them so you can see if they feel comfortable in your hands. If possible, take some pictures in the store to check the quality of the pictures.
I can only give a suggestion of what to look for in a new digital camera.
Good Luck
