looking for a professional camera Nice?
I am looking for a camera that is legitimate in the range U.S. $ 200-400 price. I do not know much about the camera and by no means am a professional, I make home videos for my family. But I want something good to have good pictures and video. Also, something that is easy to use. My friend has the Nikon Coolpix L100 and loves. The lower the better for the size of the camera, but I think I like a professional camera, so very likely to be large. Any help would be great. thanks
If you're really on a budget and want the best quality for the money, you can see the P & S Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 [with a Leica lens], which includes more than most pro SLRs requiring auxiliary lenses or even equal to the initial single Full-range lens that comes with the FZ28. A review of: http://www.steves-digicams.com/2008_reviews/panasonic_fz28_pg5.html It just came out on 4 November 2008. It is an all-in-one 10.1 megapixel digital camera that includes (i) built-in image stabilization, (ii) quality video HD720 [Quicktime] which allows zooming while videoing skateboarding, action sports, (iii) a 18x zoom [27 to 486 mm (35mm equiv.)] "Leica" lens for nature photography and concerts, (iv) up to 0.39 inch macro option, (v) up to 6400 ASA, (vi) takes up to 380 pictures by 120 min. battery, (vii) has a "burst speed" 13 fps, and sold new for $ 270 at amazon.com. in the U.S. Here is a real labor image of the moon http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/bf/1b/a83ac060ada0881604bad110.L.jpg Good luck!
