Hey

Ive been asked to take photo's for a friends wedding but i have a shitty digital camera. so im gonna get a new one..dont really know a whole lot about cameras
but i have a great love for Photography..my budget is £250 £300 and i have seen the panasonic dmc-fz38 which looks really good but dont know if its the best one for my money?

any tips?

I 've got a sony alpha 200. I think it's great .Not too expensive take great pics at 10.2 Mega pixel and very to use.With a 4 gig card you can take up to 900 shots in fine mode.

Only drawback is no preview after shot is taken, so I will be upgrading to the 300 pretty soon.

Starman, can you give us a budget? $200US $500US $35US ?? That will help us help you!

Canon G series really rock - almost like baby SLR as far as feature set goes. A G11 is a VERY cool machine, while a used G10 or G9 would probably be in your price range and serve you well until you move up to an DSLR.

thanks for the info looks nice cheers M

budget is £300 uk i dont know i think thats $600 us i think?

£ 300 = $ 463,39 and € 347,87

Definitely look into the G10/G11. Full manual, BIG display, Very good AUTO modes. You can add a PROPER BIG FLASH to them and, very importantly, they shoot RAW files! (read up on RAW - if you are doing a wedding you REALLY wanna be shooting RAW files and not just outa-the-box JPEGS.)

G10 HERE

G11 HERE

thanks alot
