I'm in the market for a digi camera. Was considering the new nikon s1, fuji f10 and 550. They all seem to have their pros and cons. What would you guys/gals suggest? Is it worth putting a few bucks more towards and SLR? And if so... again what do you suggest?
Thanks, Tod |

ok, I'm going to weigh in on this one... I just bought a pseudo-SLR(Minolta Z1,can be a full SLR with a lens change from minolta) it has 10X optical, the bust and movie modes, and is all-in-all pretty nice... BUT I'm still learning to use it properly, and some pictures look like SirAndy's WORST! the reason for most of that is that with the high (10x) optical zoom, and the LACK of a stabilizing mechanism... you HAVE to use the tripod, which is just not always convienent... also, it's a lot more complicated to take some pictures, because it gives you all the SLR functionality... my old Canon powershot may not have taken AMAZING pictures, but it was VERY EASY to use for 99% of what I was doing... this one isn't... it's just not point and click, and I haven't had time to learn the tricks... I would recommend the Z1, but I would REALLY recommend the newer, stabilized control version much more
now I finally had to quit using my old (very old)Minotla SLR... it took great pics, but it took forever to set up for the lighting and everything(no built in light meter) and I'm thinking Digital SLRs are the same way... they take GREAT pictures, IF you know what you are doing and can take the time to set them up for the setting... just my .02 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
