I picked up a couple used FujiFilm bridge cameras recently. I got them to teach my son photography but now I find myself packing the $50 Fuji over my DSLR. I'm getting some amazing shots. I'd go Mirrorless, but none of the lenses I'd want are under $2000--
- hotpotamus 4y agoWhat did you get for $50?
- duffyjp 4y agoI got a bundle of a Fujifilm S9800 and S8200 for $100 on eBay. Nobody else bid. https://www.dpreview.com/products/fujifilm/compacts/fujifilm_s9800 https://www.dpreview.com/products/fujifilm/compacts/fujifilm... It's great. It even takes AA batteries so no hassle with some specific pack & charger.
- hotpotamus 4y agoThanks! I used to work in a camera store back around the turn of the millenium in a period when people would come up and ask for the tradeoffs between digital and film. I didn't like AA cameras at the time because they'd consume lots of them, but you make a good point about their afterlife and of course NI-MH are a lot better now too. I was afraid your recommendation would trigger me to acquire yet another camera, and it looks like it will lol. Kind of crazy how good they are compared to when I was selling them, and how those very good ones are already just about ready for the trash heap.
