Nerd Rage Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Hi guys! Just to get this out of the way, I love taking pictures but I am a total noob when it comes to camera knowledge. I have a question for you on what type of camera I should get. Most cameras I've ever owned are sub-$300 cameras that I just leave on the "Auto" setting to take pictures. However, it seems like most cameras I get, from the time I actually click to take the picture, to the time it finally gets around to taking the picture after the time to focus and whatever else it does, is almost a full second which causes me to miss what I was trying to capture in the first place. My question is, what type of camera should I purchase if I want to be able to click the button and immediately (or as close to immediate as you can get) take the photo and have it be a crisp as possible. I don't need a D-SLR or anything professional, just a point and click that actually performs as I described. Any ideas? Thanks in advance everyone!

sanctified Veteran Posted June 12, 2012 Veteran Share Posted June 12, 2012 Depends of your budget. The Lumix GX1 seems what you just described, and it's image quality it's great. However, if you have the money I cant suggest enough the Fujifilm x100, a work of art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerd Rage Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thanks for the advice! The x100 looks very nice! I will pick one up and see how it goes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mps69 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Have you considered looking at a bridge camera, I've been using a fujifilm sd6500 for a few years, it gives me the best of both worlds. This is an older model, but it give you an idea what's on offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argote Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'd actually recommend you get a Micro 4/3s or (even better) a NEX camera. This will also allow you to grow in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
