Hi Guys i am thinking about getting a new digital camera. Since i am a noob when it comes to photography surfed the web and came to settle on two camera models which are follows
1) Cannon Powershot SX 30IS
2) Nikon Coolpix P500
I am leaning towards the Powershot SX 30IS. It is available for decent price at letsbuy.
Now i will come to second part of my question at letsbuy i see that they are offering extended warranty so guys what do you think about this extended warranty is it any good?
.
buying cameras can be tricky, i bought one a year back.....had got lot of valuable inputs at that time.
from your version as u have described yourself as a beginner i would rather advise you to avoid the two models you have chosen. This are high zoom semi slr and can give tough time for beginners. even if i leave complex controls just the bulkiness of the models will create a lot of trouble.
Better go for a canon Sx230, nikon P9100/8100 or Panasonic TZ10. This are the most powerful point and shoots available for normal consumers at present. They have decent zooms you need, most are 12-14x and if you hear me you "wont need more". Without tripod more than 20x even with image stabilization is a bad idea. This models are also extremely good low light performers which is very necessary.
I would personally favour Panasonic, it beats all by miles in term of image quality but unfortunately is not quite good with brand lovers. Avoid Sony they may have very good interfaces,build but always get beaten by others in picture quality. Olympuz is a good one but not much idea about that, except this all avoid others by miles.
