| 1306142 | 2012-10-09 23:43:00 | Hi there. Im after some recommendations for a new camera. I specifically want a superzoom, usable macro mode, image stabilization, & must record videos to at least 720 resolution Also a camera that uses AA would be preferred , just for convenience . I dont take alot of photos, but I would get more use from a good video mode. Ive seen in some of the tests that some of these 'cheaper' camera's have zoom issues in movie mode. Any recommendations ?? I have at the moment a 6year old Canon PowerShot S3 IS Im considering a Fuji S2980 at around $250 locally. www.fujifilm.ca Ive looked on trademe, but the camera's seem either quite old or overpriced: allmost the same as new pricing Cheers |

| 1306143 | 2012-10-10 00:24:00 | I had a Fuji and was extremely pleased to give it away (to a bloke who rapidly gave it away too), that is why I now prefer Nikon, or currently Cannon. The higher priced Fujis don't seem to infuriate the users quite so much. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

| 1306145 | 2012-10-10 00:57:00 | www.dicksmith.co.nz :) Hi thanks for that. Im after at least 10x zoom (not digital zoom). Are the $300 fuji's to be avoided, or all brands more or less just as bad at that price ?? Cheers |

| 1306146 | 2012-10-10 01:08:00 | www.bondandbond.co.nz I own one of these. Best camera I have ever had. If you can go the extra it is worth it. They have come down around $200 since I bought mine, probably as there is a T30 just released. Ken |

| 1306148 | 2012-10-10 03:24:00 | I am a Canon man as well Trev. My wife now has the TZ20 and I bought myself a G 1X. Beautiful camera with the odd drawback but easier to carry than an SLR with a sensor almost the size of the Canon LR's. Ken |

| 1306149 | 2012-10-10 03:32:00 | I got my Cannon from Trade Me yesterday, 12x zoom, 28mm wide angle, and 12.3 MP. (Low mileage, and 1 careful owner who never focused it beyond 15M until it was thoroughly run in.) I'm liking it a lot. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1306150 | 2012-10-10 07:09:00 | Hi, I have just recently upgraded my camera to a Panasonic DMC-ZS10. This is the american version of the NZ TZ20. It is exactly the same but because of the number difference it is not so popular. I paid $305 from a shop over the North shore about 6 months ago when all the regular stores were around $400. Evan today NL price is $379. The specs:- 24mm wide angle, 16 optical zoom but you can reduce the pixels to 5mb and then have 32 optical zoom, video is 1080. lithium ion battery, I am very impressed with the video. |
