Another "help me choose my new camera" thread...
In the market for a new camera but am bewildered by the array of options and don't trust the pimple faced geek at the big box store...
My experience is limited to a point & shoot and coaxing some decent shots out of my phone.
Usage: all around with emphasis on action shots and scenics.
Required features:
its gotta turn on fast
Minimal / no? shutter lag
Burst mode or better yet, continuous
Not ready for full manual settings so need the cheater settings
Decent optical zoom
HR video capable
Not a full frame dslr, not a deck of cards point & shoot.
Cold resistant
Rugged (I tend to be rough on my shit)
Ability to swap lenses would be a plus.
I suspect I may need to either sack up for a dslr or compromise on my wish list. If so, which & why?
and if someone can tell me how to post a photobucket pic I can provide a shot or two for you to rip on. ;)
And lastly, searching on my phone is a waste of time; I tried.
Thanks!
