Landscape Replacement Light
My old digital camera broke and I need a new one. Suggestions and recommendations?
I have a Kodak Easyshare DX4330, and it has ceased to take pictures (dark screen--Kodak site tells me it'll take $95 to fix not counting shipping). It was a good utilitarian camera, but I had beefs with it (took lots of out-of-focus pictures and lighting was a problem too). I'd like to get one that will take better close-ups, as well as landscape and wildlife shots, be more consistent with its reaction to lighting and not be so randomly out-of-focus, requiring me to take several pictures just to make sure ONE of them is in focus.
I'm open to any suggestions in the $100-$250 range. Zoom function is a plus, and I'd prefer one that will recharge, rather than one that requires constant replacement of batteries. Thanks for any suggestions!
What you want to get is one that will use the same SD memory cards you have now so you don't have to pay more just to get some compatible memory cards.
* Landscapes require a wide angle lens (20mm or 24mm for the best impact)
* Close-up is also referred to macro.
* Wildlife lenses are usually in the range of at least 200mm, generally longer.
That said, you are looking at a SLR-like camera with at least a 10x optical zoom (but the widest lens ranges on those are still quite long (28mm)). What you are going to find is that fewer companies are making these cameras because they are about $400 to $500 and for that kind of money, people can buy actual entry level DSLR's with that use very high quality lenses that you can choose from (fish-eye to extreme telephoto).
But neither of these type cameras are in your price range.
