B.P.R 2,798 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Can you recommend a beginners camera. I'm Always using my iPhone and after seeing a few lads with half decent cameras I was looking at getting one myself. It won't be for a while, won't really need it until September/october time. So I have a while to decide. Would be used to take action shots of the dogs, racing, working, ferreting etc. I've just seen this fuji finepix s2940 on fleabay for under £100. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=320932877112&index=5&nav=SEARCH&nid=21305099730 Seems too good to be true for the price? What other cameras are out there for that sort of price range. Nothing too fancy please Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing too fancy please i went for the dslr didnt bother with the bridge type, for the extra £100 it was worth every penny, just got to work out how to use it now :laugh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cleanspade 3,322 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I am toying with the idea of getting one of theses http://www.techradar...-1039273/review very impressive but wont match up to any entry level dslr. still a crackin looking camera in its own right. i'm useing a bridge camera just now and its ok. and i'm sure i'll get some good pics with it. but it aint no dslr its a real good little second camera though. and no faffing around with lenses. maybe i'll upgrade to that one if you test it first kay .

To be honest the reason i would choose something like that now over another dslr is no problems with dust & bits on the senser , I am not going to progress any more photography wise because it will be nothing more than a hobby for me , if i got pleasing pics with a box brownie that would do me to be honest I just thought it would be enough for me, no lens swapping etc & pretty compact , i wouldnt mind trying one for a wekend & seeing how it handled etc & see if it was worth using for the kind of things i love to photograph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cleanspade 3,322 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 thats the reason ive got this one. i'm more of an opportunist. ive some good snaps allready with this one. but it will take a while to adjust to something that is more limited. i really like the look of that one. thats a massive zoom and there is still a lot of manual control. i recon if you can deliver good pictures you will do it on most cameras.
