Having recently upgraded from a Fuji 9500s Bridge camera to the new Fuji hs20exr  16mp 30x digital zoom  I have yet to try the full potential of this camera. but going upon my previous camera this may just be what I have been looking for within my budget .
Hopefully will up load some picture take in the new year .

[Fred Vloo]

Go to www.dpreview.com where you can do a side by side comparison of two or more cameras.

Cheers Fred

Pretty much all modern bridge cameras (super zooms) and DSLRs - particularly DSLRs - will take good quality photos and video. What's your budget? Do you want a DSLR (takes interchangeable lenses)? Canon and Nikon are probably the best-known makes, with cameras starting at two or three hundred

Thanks everyone all information appreciated

still haven't decided what camera to buy

I'm looking into getting a new camera for getting decent focused shots.  Anybody got any good tips?

As Fred said earlier "Go to www.dpreview.com where you can do a side by side comparison of two or more cameras."  You will also find reviews of many products.

Remember that there will always be better cameras than those that fit your budget.  Don't let that stop you from enjoying photography.  If you are really keen, look for a course at a nearby evening college, not only for instruction but also to meet others who share your interest

If the finances are there, a good combo is a canon7D and a tamron 18-270mm.

I use this, and a sigma 50-500, also a great lens.

Hello All,

Just a bit of advice or user comments on the Nikon D7100 DSLR please.

I am considering purchasing the Nikon D7100 body alongwith a Nikon 28mm-300mm F3.5-5.6G ED VR Zoom lense to use as my 'working camera' for when I am away at sea. My current Sony A350 & Tamron 70-300mm lens has had 5 years of heavy abuse not only by travelling thousands of miles but being out on deck in the heat and the ice etc etc.

I have a Nikon D4 for use at home and there is no way that that is going to find its sea-legs !!!

Your comments or suggestions please would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Dan.

Hi Dan
Bought a NikonD7100 a year ago combined with a Sigma 120-400 lens.
My best by ever
As you said you want to bring the camera onbord with you and I do the same
The camera never fail to perform even in bad light and heavy pitching and rolling.
Good ISO values and a lot of different setting covering most occasions.
Absolutely something to think about buying.

Best Regards
Morten Christiansen

Thank you for your comment Morten, I was considering a lens up to 400mm but couldn't source a reasonably priced one that went down to around 28mm as I am trying not to have to change lenses or carry two lenses with me on deck as I have had issues with dust / grit etc on the camera sensor so was looking at getting a 'one for all' lens.

Cheers,

Dan.

Funny topic this, apparently nobody seems to care about photography and is only interested in hardware. May I suggest that photography advice becomes a separate topic? Or are we all using the P position in our camera to let it sort out how our picture is going to look like?

I have a problem with my camera Canon SX50 HS and I can not determine whether it is up to the camera or to the weather conditions. Does anybody use also this camera. Can anybody sent me some pics taken with these camera at full zoom (1200mm).

For example I add two photos. One looks like it is painted, the other is not really sharp.

In my opinion 2083.JPG looks like heat haze ... taken with long zoom setting. Various camera test sites do not score the SX50 camera highly at long zoom lengths.
Attached is one of my photos taken with Panasonic Fz200 at same focal length and pixel count reduced to approximate with your photo. Hand held. Distance approx 1km.
