What’s the difference between the nikon coolpix p80 and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28K?

icon1 Posted by admin in Camera Technology on 10 7th, 2009 | 3 responses

I’m looking to buy a new camera with my christmas money and would like to know what the difference is between the two.

also are there any other cameras you suggest under $300 that are just as good if not better preferably that can have a fish-eye lens attached to them?
honestly I do not know a lot about digital cameras but I’m about to take a photography class, any information would be helpful.

    Just different brands. Like how some car companies make similar models to compete. Do some research on them and buy the one you think will be good. Nikon is a good camera brand, I would go with that one.

    Both are great camera and have almost same feature.Nikon come with Nikkor lens while Panasonic come with Leica lens but I prefer Panasonic.Another good one for this price range is Sony Cyber-shot DSCH50 9.1 MP with 15x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot or Olympus SP-565UZ 10MP with 20x Optical Dual Image Stabilized Zoom

    the FZ28 has very good reviews

    All of the major brands are good. Choose a brand that appeals to you. Then you have to think about getting a spare battery, what size memory card, if you want an extended warranty, how much you can afford, what size zoom, if you want manual controls, the size of the camera, finding a reliable place to purchase it, and the list goes on and on and on…….

    The first thing to realize is that almost any digital camera will take good pictures. If more people would read the manual more than once, they would be able to take better pictures. Usually, the person assumes it is the camera when it could be them not knowing exactly what to do. Just give yourself more photographic knowledge by doing more reading on the internet.

    I really believe buying a camera is an individual choice.
    The person needs to read alot of reviews on cameras so they can decide on the features that they really want and need.
    Go to the store and hold them so you can see if they feel comfortable in your hands. If possible, take some pictures in the store to check the quality of the pictures.
    I can only give a suggestion of what to look for in a new digital camera.
    Good Luck
