The effect varies depending on the quality and direction of the light. Best avoided with a wide angle lens as a blue sky can end up looking blotchy with different parts of the sky varying in saturation. Fun but I would not bother with one until you have more of the basic equipment and more experience.
Thanks, much appreciated information, if I do get a camera, I will wait until I have a bit more experience, but I would have to wait anyway, as I need to save up for anything else myself. (Lenses, case, tripod, and anything else that could improve photos and ease of use e.t.c)
