Best Digital Camera for 鈧?00-鈧?00 ?


Just all round use, with a good zoom.
Im looking for peoples personal experience with one, not reviews.
Doesn't need to be more that 8 m.pixels

If you want a good zoom, get a ZLR (Zoom Lens Reflex). Cheaper and smaller than an SLR (Single Lens Reflex), these have more zoom than a compact point-and-shoot. They're also sometimes called hybrids.

The Fujfifilm S5200 has 12x optical zoom, with the option of buying telephoto and macro adaptors for even more zoom. Amazon has one vendor selling it new for $189 ( http://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-Finepix-S... ), though I'm not sure how that translates to what you'd find in Europe.

The Nikon S4 has 10x optical zoom. It's not as fast as the Fujifilm, but it's slightly more compact. New models on Amazon start at $250 ( http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Coolpix-S4-D... ). It's more expensive than the Fujfifilm S5200 because it's smaller.

Sony also makes nice ZLR's; check out Sony's H series.

Don't confuse optical zoom with digital zoom. Optical zoom is real zoom. Digital zoom just crops and enlarges the image, resulting in a dramatic loss of quality.

When you're testing the display model, pay attention to things like shutter speed and how easy it is to use. Speed and user comfort are the major factors in picture quality.

If your budget limits you to last year's model, don't sweat it if the MP count isn't excessively high. I mean, I've gotten decent 16x20" prints from a 3MP camera, so I'm not sure why everyone's asking for more than that. Maybe it's just the marketing hype getting out of hand? You might want to read the New York Times article "Breaking the Myth of Megapixels" ( http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/08/techno... ).

If your budget requires you to make a choice between a gagillion megapixels and high optical zoom, go for the optical zoom!

i sugges canon sd890 or canon sd770
