or – http://www.harveynorman.com.au/product/1256968533522/olympus-sp–ultra-zoom-digital-camera
Pretend both of them are $350.
Which one would be better?
And do they Both Have a Field Of View Function?
for those who don’t know what FOV is, it’s when you take a pic of something fairly close, and the camera only focuses on whats close and Blurrs out the Backround.
If one or both of these Cameras don’t have this. Please make it known!!
Thank you very Much!
and make sure you tell me all the Pro’s and Cons of Both Cameras.
and If you even have an Example pic for each Camera that hasn’t been Edited, And a good Pro and Con answer.
you will be Given Best Answer Immediately !
Have a Nice Day! (:
I’m a Nikon fan, but I don’t like either.
The FOV effect you’re speaking of is called bokeh. This is more of an “effect” than a function. More times than not, newer compacts have too many focus points to generate this affect easily but many still can with some practice.
Back to your choices, you’ll learn very little about image quality from resolution (or the listed specs of the camera). The CCD that captures the image is quite imortant. There are many 3.2 mp that will take better pics than a 12.1mp due to a larger CCD. That said, you should look for larger reviews to find out more of the CCD than just MP.
The real reason, I don’t give these to a second look is that they don’t use rechargeable batteries. Cameras that use double A batteries are slower and add lag time between pressing the button and the shutter actually opening. They are also slower between shots (the time it takes the camera to ‘get ready’ for the next shot).
My thoughts are: figure you budget, get the best camera you can afford. Find one with a rechargeable battery and get the biggest piece of glass you can (largest lens, and make sure it’s glass and not plastic). I hate suggesting point and shoot cameras but I realize they have a place. Sony uses glass in most of their cameras as do a few others. You can’t go wrong with Canon or Nikon (and even Olympus) but know that they do have “budget” versions (like the 2 you are looking at).
If you can find a compact that will allow you to turn off some of the focus points, you shouldn’t have any problem getting the bokeh effect especially if you learn how to manually operate the camera versus using ‘auto’ mode. I’d worry less about finding a camera with a certain affect and more about getting the bang for your buck….education on the camera you choose will do wonders for you shots.
Hope this helps, dk
