Wanted

[M.P]

I'm looking for a new digital camera, something with good zoom. Don't quite know where to start, and what to look out for, so looking for some professional advice.

 

I have already got a budget priced Fujifilm, FinePix 1300, which is 1.3 MEGA PIXELS, WITH f=5.8 lens and it has a sort of zoom in or out, but it's useless for long distance shots. Plus it doesn't take a real good photo. Example, if i take a picture say of a swan, the photo of the swan will be recognizable and pretty good for a snap shot, but there are no feathers, it's just a white mass. Hope you know what i mean.

 

I don't really want to be loaded up with loads of add on accessories, or a large handful of camera as i will be carrying it around in my fishing tackle box or pocket. Main subjects of interest are fish, boats and birds.

 

Thanks in advance for all feedback.

I have just bought a S7000 and it is the dogs mate, Ferret also has one. Both of us got ours second hand, mine is only 4 months old. We both payed around the £200 mark with a few extras.

Spent hours looking at all the camera options, one thing that surprised me is the prices, a lot cheaper then i thought. I was expecting to spend around £350-£400, but it looks like a half decent Jobie can be purchased for a lot less.

 

Only thing is, it seems like the best are the big ones, i need one to slip into my pocket and there the problem lays. So far, i can-not find one of the smaller slim jobs with all the gizmo's and spec of the bigger models.

 

Will have another read.
