    Hi all,

    New to this area of boards

    I go to a lot of sporting occassions and want tog e tinto taking decent photos. I also do a lot of walking and nature related journeys and often wished to have a 'proper' camera with which to do views justice. Zooming is often the issue with whatever device I have.

    Can people advise on a decent starter camera with appropriate zooming?

    thanks

    RM

    you can easily spend thousands on cameras, so what is your limit? have you taken any kind of photos before, just you mention zooming being a problem - unless you mean walking up close or far away from the object :D

    I have just been reading through the stickies on the issues


    I suppose I wont be able to take good pics from being in the stands at sports games mainly...I am not looking to become a professional photographer..my normal digital camera or mobile phone camera just does not do it for me zoom wise

    I would be looking at a few hundred max...lets say €400 - €500 max...but open to paying less if it meets needs

    Nikon S3000 - Good cheap and cheerful compact - 5 optical zoom about €200

    Any Canon but they will be dearer
