camera 20x optical vs a camera that is changeable?
i found a cheap camera that is 300 bucks 20x optical “(35mm film equivalent: 28-560mm) that allows you to shoot any scene from wide-angle to telephoto”
but my dad is gearing towards a camera that has changeable lens. if he were to get a camera lens what mm would it be.
acamera something like this. http://www.ipelagos.com/pd-nikon-d60-102mp-digital-slr-camera-with-18-55mm-f35-56g-af-s-dx-vr-and-55-200mm-f4-56g-ed-if-af-s-dx-vr-zoom-nikkor-lens-with-2-nikon-school-dvd.cfm 1000 is a bit pricy is it a good deal. or is a 20X optical good enough. my dad has an old manual and he like changing lens
thanks for your thoughts
which would you pick a camera 20x optical vs a camera that is changeable
The only problem with a 20x zoom is that there will usually be some distortion at it’s limits. If you are not going to be doing any professional photography and there you are not bothered by the distortion, it is a convenient way to go, but be sure it has some sort of image stabilization. With a 560mm equivalent lens motion can be a very serious problem unless you are very steady or use a tripod. You will get better results with quality exchangeable lenses, but if you have to go to a lesser quality for financial reasons, stick with the convenience of the 20x zoom camera.
