Thanks for this group, Marj! I've made no bones about my mediocre camera and dubious skills to match. My problem with photog advice is that I don't usually understand what's being told to me, as I have no technical knowledge. (I had a tiny bit in the analog days, but it's a different world, now.)
Once in awhile I read reviews and compare specs for cameras I can afford - about $400. But it's SO confusing. I know there's no "right answer," but would still like some suggestions from people I know here!
Current so-called equipment (sorry old camera): Fuji S2950. Basically a step above a point-and-shoot and shaped like a small DSLR. I love the light weight of it and it has a viewfinder - which I absolutely MUST have. www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-FinePix-S2950-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B01KADBD5W I will probably want to stay with auto-focus, etc.
Ideas?

M♥rJ Photogr♥phy !!… clubAre you saying that you are looking for a new camera ? ... If so I found it quite hard to chose the right one, ( still wonder if I have )....I think you have to look at what you want from the camera.
in way of what you want to shoot. It is a preference & I think everyone has different thoughts on what is best......One thing I will say is go to a camera shop & handle different ones to get the feel + also pick their brains .....OR Anyone on here what are your thoughts on this ? ......!!!
Frans Schols club has replied to M♥rJ Photogr♥phy !!… clubIk wil hier graag een klein antwoord geven.
Ik wilde ook graag een compacte camera kopen die goede foto,s maakte,die niet ingewikkeld was en met een zoeker in de prijsklasse van 400 euro.
In de winkel stond een hele rij camera,s die Je allemaal zelf uit het rek kon nemen en proberen.
Ik heb er verschillende geprobeerd en dan voel je het gewicht in de hand en hoe het voelt om er mee om te gaan.
Bij sony vond ik dat ze licht waren,maar ze voelden aan als een speelgoed camera.
Ik koos tenslotte voor de Panasonic DMC-TZ81. Deze voelt goed in de hand,maar is iets zwaarder.
De accu,die je via de camera moet opladen, is snel leeg,dus een reserve accu is wel een must.
Er zitten zoveel mogelijkheden op,die ik nog niet allemaal heb kunnen proberen.
Er zit een touchscreen op,waardoor je soms je instellingen veranderd per abuis .
Hopelijk heb ik een kleine bijdrage kunnen geven bij het probleem
Hartelijke groeten.........Frans.
M♥rJ Photogr♥phy !!… club has replied to Frans Schols clubThank you for that .... All this helps others to know how you come to a decision on buying a Camera.
There is always pros & cons you have to get the right balance.
Anyone else got any input into buying a Camera ?
French is right in what he says, but i would like to say a camera that has a little more weight to it becomes more stable to hold steady when using the viewfinder. (if it has shake reduction the better)
Just a small comment Diane, so hope this helps your choice of camera!
Kind Regards, Bill.
