Can anyone give me a suggestion between these 2 cameras

Tidyweb

I want to upgrade from a standard compact camera.

Is either of these particularly good value or technically better than the other, or have any major drawbacks.

I will be using them mainly for photographing family and sunsets, standard stuff.

There is only €40 differnec in price and I dont know enough to make an educated choice.

The G2 is probably the better camera and also has video but there will be way more accessories and second hand gear available for the D3000.

To be honest there would be very little difference in picture quality from either of them.

I find Snapsort is always good for a spec comparison (:

Thanks for the comparission - they seem very similar.

I am not that pushed on extra lenses as i doubt I would be at a level to be changing lenses etc.

But at a user level is there anything else that seperates them.

I seem to se sidinb with the Panasonic although I hear Nikon is a better brand of camera

Nikon is a better camera IMO but it doesnt have video. It will really depend on what you are looking for though. However, for 100 euro more you have the D3100 which is much better than both.

If you could strech your budget a bit I think it will be worth it.

The Panasonic is onsale reduced €190 which is the reason I picked it.

I suppose its the value for money I am looking at.

Has decided to buy the panasonic and argos dropped the price on another panasonic these 2 are both €309 - is one particularly better than the other.

A camera is a camera to me
