Craig Sony 12x - Tips
Hello Craig,
I have the Sony 12 X Optical Zoom Camera, I think
nowabout 350-400 dollar rangein the USA.
The 12x zoom increased the number of photos possible
by about triple over the 3x, amazing how many more photos I can take with a
bigger zoom.
I held the camera up next to the canon professional
camera with the standard lens and it was the same zoom at the base
price.
Sony now has a Single Reflex Lens that I could now
put on bigger zoom. This is my next step. Then again, I have to buy all the
cases to carry the cameras, I look at cases, it is a package deal, I need the
backpacks and cases before I decide on the camera. I would have the pro-version
of Sony, however I could not find a good case. The Pelican cases are just plain
rediculous in size.
Bad part, I cannot carry this camera in my
pocket.
In the end though the feature I care about the most
is speed. When I turn it on, how long does it take to power up. To get the best
photos, I need to be fast at the gun, something is happening, and I am wanting
to take a photo.
I had this Olympus, 3x zoom, i just left it at home,
it was so slow, I hated it, nothing more frustrating that missing photos because
the camera is slow. I like the Sony because I can buy the chips, toys, and such
about anywhere.
But in the end, a good price is great, the camera you
are looking at sounds nice.
