claireybell Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I know this has been done a few times but I really need some help guys. OH and I are after a camera. Our budget is up to $600 (we're hoping cheaper if we get it duty free). The things we are after in a camera are: Quickness - we want to be able to photo's quickly. As in not take apicture wait and then be able to take another. my current digital camera is really slow and I have to wait 6-7 seconds before the camera is ready to take another picture. Action - we onviously have dogs and would like to be to point and shoot and get good pictures. Any recommendations you have would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) If you're after a DSLR $600 wont go far. Some point and shoots might not have that shutter lag but I dont know. Can you save a bit more, otherwise look to second hand. Maybe even a DOLer might be upgrading and want to sell a good DSLR.

Rysup Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I got a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 which is a high-end point and shoot. You can use manual settings if you want, or you can just go the auto. I believe you can pick them up around $600 now days. Its a great, easy to use camera that looks like a DSLR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clover Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Another vote for the Panasonic Lumix camera's, great little cameras. I saw recently a single lens kit Canon 1000D (i think) for around $650 somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
