I am looking to buy a new digital camera for a gift. the Recipient wants to use it to learn about Photography and also use it for taking photos of hair styles that he does and create a professional album and Instagram page with something superior to a cell phone camera.
I'm looking to spend $200 to $300
looking for a zoom lens
wifi or bluetooth so that photos can be transferred to a smart phone or tablet and send or posted online.
!6MP or better and like cameras that have a dial to let you pick shooting modes over menus
I am personally most accustomed to Canon and the PowerShot line myself other than film cameras.
I have not purchased a camera in over 5 years so need some suggestions.
currently looking at some on B&H web site:
Canon PowerShot SX620 HS
Canon PowerShot SX420 IS
Canon PoweeShot SX530 HS
Nikon CoolPix B500
Sony Cyber Shot DSC-HX80
not sure If there are any other models or brands I should look at?
I'm hoping for some black Friday or Cyber Monday sales.
We looked at some model at best buy last night. he seemed to like the Nikon B500 but was not sure about needing to make sure the lens was covered when not in use. Also liked the Canon sx530 but same thing with that, the lens cap you have to be sure to put on. He did like the Sony. Its was at the top of the price range but compact and had a good mix of features. I know nothing of Sony Cameras, I always had Cannons and his last low priced point n shoot was a Nikon.
Thanks for any input
