Personalized recommendation for Robert
Filed under: Recommendations by toby
Robert is looking for an ultra-compact camera that takes great video, has top notch image quality and costs $150.00-$250.00
Sometimes it amazes me the features and quality you can get in a digital camera today around the $200 price point. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35K 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle ZoomWhy this is a great camera for Robert-
- Great HD video & options for smaller resolution movies all at 30fps
- The FX35 is a true ultra-compact and slimmer than many in its class
- Many positive reviews regarding image and movie quality
- Scene modes and lots of image options to customize
- Nice & Bright LCD Screen on the back for composing/image review
Downsides to this camera? Just two- No manual controls and HD movie clips have a 2GB limit ~8.5minutes. Lowering the movie resolution will allow you to take longer clips.
Possible Alternative:
Canon PowerShot SD1100IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom Doesn't have HD movies, No wide-angle lens and a little less zoom. It is however an incredibly popular camera with positive reviews to support. And it is cheaper, leaving room in the budget to buy spare cards/batteries.
