Hi everyone
I am looking into getting a new camera before the 360 Tour starts, and I would love some advice. I'm not AT ALL camera term savvy as you will see. I have an Olympus FE-280 8.0 Megapixel and 3xOptical Zoom (not enough!) It's great for every day still shots, but not good for cats in motion, or band in motion etc. As a matter of fact, the worst thing about my current camera is that if there is even the slightest shake the photo will come out totally blurry! Very rarely do pix come out if a tripod is not involved.
Here's the features I know I need....
1.Something without a huge lense, that will be allowed into the venues (i.e., a point and click w/zoom...NOT telescopic.)
2. I think I've seen a feature where the camera has a stabilizer...so if you have shaky hands or are moving it can still take a clear picture, free of blurs which would be the NUMBER ONE thing I need!!
3. A strong zoom
4. Price under $700...prefer price under $400!!
5. Oh, I would prefer if it has a viewer to look thru so I can turn off the screen and not annoy my fellow audience member....plus that's just a nice feature to have.
If you have any suggestions please lemme know!
Much appreciated!
