Hi all,
After lurking through the post your pictures thread for a long time and making a Flikr recently and remembering how I've always wanted a decent camera to take pictures with for fun and hobby-ing, I've decided I want to buy one before Christmas. But I'm new to the show and don't know too much about them, I've only ever owned film-based cameras, or the ones attached to my phones.
I do have a budget for this, however. I'm not looking to get into anything professionally, and I don't need something crazy, but I certainly don't want a piece of junk. I'm looking at spending no more than $250 on a camera.
I've been looking at the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ70 on Amazon. It seems like a good camera for the price point, but I am very open to suggestions, provided you've got some reasoning to them.
So shoot! And thanks in advance, friends.
