I am doing houndreds of photos with my phones since always.
It's time to consider getting a proper camera.

I want long battery life, low cost... android? is there such thing ?Razz


I am mostly interested in big zoom and macro photos.

At first I thought you want to buy a camera, but the above actually got me confused. Scratch Head You want a camera or a cell-phone with good quality camera?

Well, anyway, lately I've been thinking about getting a camera myself, so after browsing Ceneo for a while (Very Happy), I stumbled upon Fuji FinePix S 2980. I haven't read any reviews yet but looks definitely promising. Has good customer opinions, isn't too expensive either - might be good for a start.

(18x optical zoom, up to 720p movie capturing - if your interested in that.)

Nikon D3100.

Or, if you don't want to spend a lot on lenses, get a Canon SX40/50 HS. Or a SX10, friend had one for some years. 16X optical zoom, bigger than usual, DIGIC4 sensor, 10 MPx, photos look great. Also, the SX line has image options similar to a DSLR.

The only reliable Android camera would be the Galaxy Camera. But it's expensive as shit.

LTE version is 599 USD. And that one only allows for data transfer via LTE, there is no phone call possibility.

Look for superzooms, such as the Canon I listed in an earlier post. Fujifilm has some as well, and older models are still very much okay.

Fujifilm FinePix S4000

It's 230$ here. It's actually really great. But I assume it's over your budget.

Or Canon SX150IS. http://www.amazon.com/Megapixel-Powershot-Sx150-Digital-Camera/dp/B0084NWGRU

And this sweet deal. http://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-FinePix-Optical-Digital-Camera/dp/B007RYYVPW/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1356006435&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=FinePix+S4200

Fujifilm FinePix S4000 is tapping my budget a bit but 700pln is much ebtter than 2000pln Wink

SO it is affordable.that canon is even better. That is the price I was thinking from the start but it looks like a toy compared to that fuji

Differences aren't that huge. Functionality is pretty much the same and the only difference one will see is the noise level. It will probably be a bit higher on the Canon, but only if you zoom a picture at 100%, which won't happen. Go for the Canon, mate.

Also, it's a bit bigger than a normal, 30 euros compact camera. The Fuji isn't that huge either, compared to the SX40 or an entry-level DSLR, it's really small.

Look into a bridged SLR cameras by Nikon or Canon.

http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-COOLPIX-Digital-Camera-NIKKOR/dp/B0073HSJR4/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1356294489&sr=1-2&keywords=bridge+slr

You lose the benefit of being able to switch lenses like on an DSLR but you still get the options and quality and options that you don't really get on a shitty point and click camera or crappy cell phone cameras.

Looked at some reviews of that L810 from nikon and it is so... So... Reviews are average at best.

It is not a bad option for 200usd budget but I am not sure about it. Sample pictures look quite good and zoom is a great feature.
Also it dont have a visor. Only lcd screen which would suck outdoors.



Any other recommendations? I would like good macro and zoom like that nikon or do I have to get a no superzoom compact?

I want to take all about pics but dont need too much options and such but it wouldnt hurt to be able to set all parameters according to my needs when auto presets fail.

Like I said. Macro, zoom, stabilization, minimum 720p. Indoor photos are my needs. Just an all about use non professional camera.

There are so much cameras. Also. Seems like only Fuji cameras have visor in that price tag but their quality of pics sucks according to some reviews

Olympus isn't a bad brand. They were up there with Nikon and Canon back in the day but they kind of fell behind on the DSLR market so aren't anywhere close to what they used to be. I wouldn't 2nd guess buying one if they had one in the market I was buying in.

Bridged SLR's are quite a bit above the quality of a point and shoot. They may not be able to switch glass like us but they add in the ability of full manual mode which is something point and shoots don't do.

the point n shoot was based on a simple camera you take out of your pocket and snap a picture. A Bridged SLR can and will do much more than that should you buy one with manual mode.

I have an Olympus XZ-1 which I carried through Spain by foot for 5 weeks and it still works and delivered rlly good pictures. It has a nice fast lens of F1.8 and quite a big Sensor for its class, though only 10MP (which is plenty, believe me). So it's possible to have a relatively interesting Dof.

It is, of course, not comparable to DSLRs and it doesnt have the range of a bridge. But it has the fast lens, which allows for a little shallow Dof, which is a feat I like alot and its relatively compact. The only drawback is the AMOLED screen which tends a little to much to the red side. Pics on PC look great though. It also features full manual mode, of course. But it is on the expensive side.

What is your budget btw?
