I'm not a big fan as I find them lacking compared to my DSLR. I think for someone on a vacation (holiday) it would be fine. I hope she enjoys the Big Apple.

forest of dean redneck 12,023 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Not bad price that,but i think those bridge cameras look a bit flash and attract unwanted attention. We got a oldish fuji bridge camera and people seem to look more than when we carry a old Nikon dslr around. Sometimes a Decent compact is easier to carry around. Just bought my 8 yr old this for christmas http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1019825.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RubyTex 1,957 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I picked this one for Christmas and got it on Saturday http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5597147.htm Only had it out the box for a quick play but it handled nicely, well made, i had no memory card to put in it so couldn't take a picture but from the screen the quality it looked good, and the 30x zoom was spot on. I was looking at the one you originally posted but the AA batteries put me off! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
