OdaySomali Posted February 5, 2012 A semi-SLR, good choice ! I haven't checked out the camera shops in a while but 30x zoom is very good. I remember that just 1 and half years back the highest zoom on a semi-SLR with a fixed lens would have been 20x zoom (Panasonic Lumix). I will check out the camera shops and give my [qualified] opinion. I cannot justify (to myself) spending £400 on a camera so I have not bought and likely will not buy my [ideal] camera :( Panasonic Lumix semi-SLR range.

Because I would say don't waste your time on the typical average digital camera - they are terrible (compared to Semi-SLR). Are you thinking semi-SLR or SLR. Personally I think SLR's are too expensive to maintain. Mind you, a £1,000 on the camera, another few 100-1,000 on the lenses, if you want a decent flash that will set you back another couple hundred. It all depends on what your budget is. I would say go for a fixed lens semi-SLR. You will get the speed close to a proper SLR, you still have the large lens. You have the option to use automatic or full manual settings. The zoom go for something like 20-30. All that for a couple hundred. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OdaySomali Posted February 5, 2012 :D I've just been browsing some websites and semi-SLR's have really come down in price. They used to be around the £400 pound mark but have come down to £250-300 mark... I may well be making a trip to the shops. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still can't believe how much the prices have come down, I had given up but now there is hope 16 megapixels is very good and as is the zoom at a staggering 30, but I cant help but think there is a catch... there is always a catch, what you gain on the zoom you might loose on pixels or on the ISO and vice versa. So I take it the ISO maximum will be quite low ? Oh its Fujifilm... nuff said. Canon or Nikon, with Panasonic coming 3rd,, I wouldnt have thought FujiFilm was even in the race.

OdaySomali Posted February 5, 2012 I'm sorry but Canon, Nikon and Panasonic (Leica) lenses are the best lenses. FujiFilm lost the game a long time ago. They have nnow resorted to producing and selling make-up LOL, rather than cameras. Its called fuji-film makeup The specification of the camera is very good ... but I still think there is a catch (Fuji). I'll check out the link.

Caano_Geel Posted February 5, 2012 lenses-ka waxa laga faa'idayo ayaaba iska yar. Kamarada waxyaabahaa kale ayaa lagu doortaa, adna lenses baad meesha la timi!! This camera wax ceeba ma laha, the photo quality is excellent the video the CMOS sensor + more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OdaySomali Posted February 5, 2012 Caano-geel, dude, ive checked out the website and the thing runs on AA batteries wth. That, the fact that it is Fuji-Film and its price (for a semi-SLR) should have been red warning signs sxb Its a nice spec but I told you there is a catch, and boy was it a big one. I will post a much better alternative. I hope you have not bought this... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
