Easy enough to use I have had the S1500 S2500 and now use the S4000 quite happily ok not quite to DSLR standards but zoom is useful and you would need a couple of lenses for a DSLR to be as versatile

out of these cameras what would you think is best fujifilm S2980, s400 or S4200 or do you know better bridge cameras for that price

 

[Dave Moss]

for the money no I dont The samsung and Nikon versions dont have the electric viewfinder which in bright conditions is needed The isnt a canon near the price the Sony is twice the price panasonic is more expensive as well you can get a ge but truthfully thats an s1500 which has been uprated and wouldnt touch Fuji's latest cameras

You might be able to get a decent second hand DSLR for the same cash as a new bridge camera though - or indeed a large pile of film cameras lol

Thanks david (and everybody else that replied) but can you recommend a trustworthy site like ebay etc.. for buying a cheap second hand or new (highly unlikely) DSLR for £100-£150

I looked a couple of weeks ago the cheapest I could find that would work was 200

You could get a Nikon d40 with a 18-55 for that sort of money on ebay

Hi everybody
my parent think it is a good idea for me to have a DSLR for upgrading lenses etc... so they have agreed to buy me a sony a200 do you think this is a good camera as the feature that i like the most is the opurtunity to have a battery grip for portrait photography etc...
