Searching for a Point and Shoot Digital Camera
Frankly speaking I have not purchased a digital camera before. Whatever shots shown in this blog were taken using Nikon Coolpix 885 (a gift), Canon Powershot A75 (borrowed) and Sony Ericsson P990i camera phone.
I guess is time to get serious and get a digital camera for myself. I started searching, compare and review the camera of my choice. I could narrow my options to Fujitsu F31d, Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 and Samsung L77.
Why Fujitsu F31d? Well one of my friend bought this camera and he gave very good ratings to it. You can call it a personal users choice. He did a comparison between a F40 and F31d before he made any purchased he took a picture of a dark blue box. The F31d picture produced the right color compared to the F40. The F40 produced a black box instead of the actual color dark blue. DPreview.com gave a very good review with this digital camera. The camera is built with rich functions and is really good for photographers who wants a point and shoot camera that comes with other manual functions. The battery lifespan is one of the longest compared to most digital cameras.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3, comes with a 10x optical zoom which is very attractive and desirable to own. The image stabilizer is a must have, as my hands tend to shakes when it comes to photography. Though the two features, image stabilizer and 10x optical zoom attracts my interest, however the overall review of the picture quality does not.
My next option will be Samsung L77. The digital camera comes with a good 7x optical zoom. The built in functions and features are reasonably attractive. One of the attractions of this camera will be the movie clip function. The camera allows you to use the 7x optical zoom while taking movie clips.
I had not come to a decision on which camera to purchase, at this point of time I may drop idea on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3.
