Gents,
I'm sure I'm not the only novice when it comes to photo/video equipment on this board. I wanted to get some input on what to get, and figured this was a good place to start. I'm looking for a new point and shoot camera, with decent shutter speed and relative portability. Obviously I'd love to get a DSLR with a mid range lens, but it's a) not in the budget b) a bit more than I want to carry around the parks at this time. I'll be lugging enough stuff for DW and DD.
I really have no jumping off point other than the fact that the camera I have right now serves its purpose, but has problems keeping focus and I get a bunch of fuzzy pics. Plus the reset speed is slow at best. I've looked at the Nikon Coolpix series, and having used a D40x for product images at a previous job, I'm a bit partial to the brand, but have no serious loyalty.
And as an aside, is it worth picking up a FLIP UltraHD-type video recorder?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Indy
