Thanks!
What are the 2 above like for recording video indoors as the one I have always looks to red and grainy, mine say's it does HD video but it just looks like a video I have zoomed into to be honest.
Yep I know I could get more light but we already have 6 lights on the ceiling, I have even tried holding a super bright LED torch while filming Shaz having a leg over but it still looks grainy :sad:
ooooooh nice!
I like this part "No matter what kind of light you shoot under, the highly sensitive back illuminated CMOS image sensor captures scenes just as you see them"
The COOLPIX S9100 - a slim super-zoom for superior images in any situation. 18x super-zoom with a stunningly slim body Back illuminated 12.1 megapixel CMOS image sensor Full (1080p) HD movie-recording with stereo sound 7.5 cm (3-in.), 921k-dot LCD monitor Packing a huge 18x zoom lens into an incredibly slim body, the COOLPIX S9100 lets you close in on your subject in style wherever you go. The versatile NIKKOR lens offers wide-angle to super-telephoto coverage, while the cameras compact dimensions make it ideal for carrying around. No matter what kind of light you shoot under, the highly sensitive back illuminated CMOS image sensor captures scenes just as you see them. Sensor-Shift Vibration Reduction ensures sharp photos and movies, even when shooting at the telephoto end of the zoom.

All of our pics are taken on a mobile phone camera (an old one). We did get a new digital camera but it takes horrid pictures!
We dont display new pics here any more so cant show examples but we find the setting, type of pic and the photographer far more important. Have a Fuji a850 that cost about 50 quid and does the job fine. Set up for a shoot and just take lots of pictures. Some come out great by default some look great with a few added effects like sepia etc. One more point I will add is its good if the pics do look a bit amateurish. I have skipped past profiles where the pics are too professional thinking its probably a fake profile with pics nicked from magazines :neutral:
I haven't taken videos for years, but I always found the best thing was quick hands and large pockets
At £250 you'd be looking at a bridge camera, something like this
|category_root|Photography|14419436/c_2/2|14419436|Digital+cameras|14419441/c_3/3|cat_14419441|Bridge+digital+cameras| (you'll have to copy and paste the link- its not working for some reason?)
Then you'd need to buy an SD card or two, depending on how much you shoot and if you want to have lots of space for holidays etc- this should be more than enough
As a guide, i have a DSLR and two 4gig cards which at maximum quality hold the best part of 600 pictures between them and about 5000 if i choose 800x600 pictures (which still look great). Video does eat up the memory but again, as a guide, i use DSLR cameras at work to shoot adverts, music vids etc and an 8gig card gives me about 28 minutes in best quality.
For the light, don't get a built in one. they're usually shite and as they're mounted in the middle of the camera you get flat light. using one of these put the light to the side and gives you more depth and a better picture. it also has its own battery so it won't eat up your camera batteries.
Your alternative of course is to buy a compact separate stills and video cameras
I would say Canon ixus.. i have the 200is and its fantastic!
Well I got my Nikon Coolpix S9100 come today and it's greattttttttttttttttttt :twisted:
We have met someone and tested it out so will upload a couple later hehe
I'll always swear by Panasonic Lumix cameras if you just want a point-and-shoot. My old man has had a DMC-FX07 for years and I've had a DMC-FX35 since 2008, and they're both brilliant cameras. Both a couple of years old now so you can pick them up for under £100 new.
Impressive! :thumbup:
Is it easy to use? I need a new camera l but I have no idea about all the gadgets and gizmos some of them come with. Right now we just use the ones in our phones so I want something I can point and click to get good results. You know, auto focus, auto flash etc.
looked through.. which are new? ;)
pref with a good video light on it.
