Advice on which camera to buy for nature photography?
I want to purchase a new digital camera for my photography. I am looking for a more amateur/professional camera for nature photography. I need one that can do the following, preferably:
One that takes very high res images.
One with a good/fast zoom since I take a lot of close-up pictures of very small things and landscapes you cannot get real close too.
Something that can take a little movement. Be a small tremor from me, or movement from the subject.
Would prefer a view finder then a screen, but not a must. Something that can take a little moisture and some shaking. I hike a lot for photography, so it could get bumpy. I am also in the south, so the humidity is very high here all year round. I am not going to take it out in a rainstorm (it would be nice if I could), but a little moisture is going to be inevitable.
I am looking to spend around $350-$500 on the camera.
Anyone know of a model that is good for this? Any personal experiences with it? Any sample photos? Help?
If you can shell out a little more, buy a Nikon D50 SLR digital camera. It’s a lower end camera but you can build on it. Great resolution. 6.1 megapixels. And you can buy different lenses (macro, zoom, wide angle) later on. You won’t be disappointed.
If your deadset on price btwn 350-500, check out the Fuji Fine Pix s5200. It has max optical zoom of 10X and resolution of 5.1 mp.
I think Fuji’s resolution is great, too.
