I've been looking at cameras for awhile and I don't think a dSLR is right for me, I'm not a serious enough photographer to invest what a dSLR cost. I also like the idea of having a lot of optical zoom, so I've been considering a bridge camera.
I've been looking at:

http://www.2cameraguys.com/Canon-PowerShot-SX50-HS.htm
Is a bridge camera the cheapest way to get a lot of optical zoom on a sub-$500 budget? What brand or model would you recommend personally? Picture quality isn't really a big deal for me (I'm not trying to sell or even print images), I would only want REASONABLE picture quality, with consideration to the low budget of course.
Thanks,
John
Answer
If zoom is your thing, then only a bridge will make you happy. They have the most zoom among all types of digital cameras. This one, although just decent in zoom proudly makes up for it with optical quality and ease of use.

Which is the best DSLR Camera for begginers?

Hi.
Im a begginer at this DSLR stuff and wondering which camera would be the best at a super low price. I've found a few that interest me:
Nikon D40 - (http://www.teds.com.au/www/6/1001102/displayproduct/nikon-d40-18-55mm-ed-kit--2015661_digital-slr--1005803_.html)
Canon EOS 1000D - (http://www.digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au/prod4545.htm)
Sony Alpha A200 - (http://www.digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au/prod2171.htm)
Pentax K200D - (http://www.digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au/prod2270.htm)
Only problem is with the Pentax it doesnt have a rechargable battery like the others ones do.
Which would be the best one for me as a begginer and only being 15.
Thanks.

For an almost there DSLR, the following could be your best bet for a super low price. Also, the other information should be helpful in knowing what to look for in any camera.
Check this more for the money camera. FUJIFILM - FinePix 10.0-Megapixel Digital.
Life time Warranty (Parts & Labor).
Wide-angle shooting, a 12x optical zoom and picture stabilization mode combine in this camera for exceptional shooting performance, even at a distance. Plentiful scene modes, autofocus and automatic white balance controls make this camera a snap to operate. You may be able to find it on the Internet for a lower price.

In new cameras, look for optical viewfinders (LCD invisible in bright sun) and check battery prices. High mega pixel settings take longer to process and may not be needed unless required for large pictures or enlarging parts of pictures. Maximum print size for a 3 mega pixel setting is 8 x 10 inches. Click links below for more details.

Just saw this camera at Best Buy and think it is a great camera and a best buy. It has an optical viewfinder, image stabilizer, auto focus, and uses NiMH rechargeable batteries. Read as much of the following as you can for other information and help with choosing a camera.

There is no one particular place to get great buys, but you may see something above that really helps you find the best buy. Click on the link in the information above for an example then search for your camera of choice at the upper left. Camera prices at this link change often.
While most of the cameras out there are really good, I would choose Canon over Nikon because it seems like more camera for the money. Some would say Canon withholds their best technology for high end cameras and Nikon implements their best at all levels. Before you decide, read all the text and links in the information below because it will help you know what to look for in a camera.
There are so many cameras out there it is difficult to say which is best, but digital is definitely the way to go. The second source link will be very helpful as it list most of the cameras out there with prices. The following information should help you know what to look for in a camera.
What gives a camera its picture quality?
The short answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures.

The information about my camera is just to show that you don't need the biggest and best. Just know how to use the one you have.
My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives great results, is faster, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7 x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an old camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes ... like magic.
Check with the Geeks in several stores and compare prices. Ask what cameras they own, but don't believe everything you hear. Once you select a camera read all about it in the owner's manual. Just learned that my camera has red-eye prevention and correction. It also has adaptive lighting. You may be able to view owners manuals at this link, but will need to Login. http://www.retrevo.com/s/digital+camera ...
The source links will show most of the cameras out there with prices and help make digital cameras work better with complete instructions on cleaning camera and battery electrical contacts.
