Recommend me a camera

Jaanwar · Jul 26th, 2009, 04:49 AM

I am planning to get me a camera. I am not into professional or even very serious photography stuff. So I don't need anything with fancy lenses, attachments and contraptions. I need something with:

- good results, as in colours and clarity
- a good optical zoom, ability to take distant shots
- portability - I need the camera mostly for my travel and I would hate carrying around a rocket launcher with me
- good and clear night shots, xenon flash or whatever fancy stuff that helps you take good shots in poor light conditions
- something robust - should be able to take a bit rough handling and travel

Basically I need an AK-47, just aim and fire and you will hit quite well. Perhaps a slim/small SLR? anything which is compact and has good features, a good lense. I dunno, please help!!

You are rushing. I bought D40 nikon. I went back to upgrade it in 3 weeks.
So I suggest wait for a little do some more research.
OR
Make sure you have way to dispose first cam. As selling it.. or give it brother or some thing..
So you could get a next cam..

If you buy SLR you will find your self lens pretty soon.

Unless you are planning to play around with exposure, do not buy a DSLR. It has a lot of bells & whistles, and unless you use it no point paying for it.

Nikon/Canon/Olympus/Sony make plenty of great point & shoot cameras that should do the trick for you.

Aap pic kab upload kareen gy??

Punjabee in USA · Jul 28th, 2009, 03:27 PM

OK. That sounds good.

Btw, I have tried the image upload button at the bottom of a new message and that has not worked.

Monk · Jul 28th, 2009, 04:02 PM

Thank you all for your advice. I think I need to learn the basics first i.e. what different types and technologies are floating around in the market these days. I am so outdated when it comes to cameras. I will consult the mighty google and get back to you guys for recommendations - ideally with some options that I can come up with.
