Sony F828 vs Coolpix 5700 vs Foveon
Hi I=B4m totally confused. I=B4ve read allmost everything I could find abou= t digital cameras (reviews etc) and still I can=B4t say I=B4m ready to buy anything. Why does one allways feel that no matter which digital camera you buy you=B4ll buy something thats all ready oldfashioned and at the same time have the feeling that someone is trying to cheat you buiyng a camera that is made cheap on behalf of quality? There is allways a "BUT": Low battery, expensive battery, high noise, too small amount of pixels, too small CCD, no accessories worth talking about, too expensive accessories etc. etc. I=B4ve been seriously looking for a digital camera for my self for about a year now. Allways been looking for THE CAMERA. Got a Coolpix at work - old 995 - still works great. A bit slow, but takes OK pictures 3.3 mio. pix. No good for action and no good for birds far away. Guess this was really quality some years ago? So i looked at Coolpix 5700 - but found it a bit expensive. And folks talk about the lens not being good enough - because the "wideangel" equals an 35mm - so I=B4ve been sticking to my old Nikon F90X and F80 with Sigmas 17-35mm and 100-300mm lenses making a good job. But still I missed a digital camera - found myself sitting for hours scanning....Zzzzzzzz.....and its sooooo heavy to carry arround. But then came the roumours: SONY F828 was on it=B4s way - 8 mio. pix. Zeiss optics etc. And to a price only a bit higher than coolpix 5700. I was allmost ready to buy it unseen, but after reading some of the reviews I am in doubt once again. Noise over iso 100....battery and mem sticks to expensive....all the BUTs came along again..... A lot of you nice folks writes bad about this camera.....allmost no one writes any real good about it - only SONY talks real nice about it.... Bootom line - which camera should I go for? I don=B4t want a SLR because I allready have 2 nice old analog ones - i like a more compact digital camera, but with the abillity of making really good professional pictures - and with a lens with some optical zoom - not ust 3X which is almost the default size today. Thats why I was hooked on the Coolpix 5700 and the F828...but are there any other cameras with better specs. or is it the best I=B4ve all ready found? Any clues or suggestions? Thanx in advance... Morten Get a Foveon right ****ing now |
