What is a good camera to buy if want really clear pics and good zoom?

by best digital camera review on November 28, 2009

I went to a Taylor Swift concert and I took pictures with my camera, which is just a plane simple digital camera, and they didn’t turn out that great. I want a really nice camera but not too expensive and I want to take really clear pictures. I don’t know that much about cameras so can someone help me please and thankyou. A link would be cool too.

Well if your want to just get a digitcal compact camera i would suggest panasonic lumix dmc sz3 which is around $290 on amazon. It has a 12X optical zoom which is good for a smaller camera. I take it to concerts all the time and get pretty good shots.

You can’t get a good quality picture without spending a lot of money on equipment. The more expensive the equipment is most likely to have the better quality. One thing you can do is get to learn your camera so that you know all of the different features to get the best picture.
Zooming in is not always the best thing to do for quality pictures, you want to get macro shots which means close up pictures but when you zoom in things get harder to focus on because you have little stability to keep the camera from moving. Also you need to have good lighting, if it is really dark in a concert or something then you would most likely get bad pictures because there would be no light to capture then image.

I would suggest getting like a Canon or something they are called, but they can be more expensive than others.

If you don’t mind size I would recommend Canon PowerShot SX20IS 12.1MP with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch Articulating LCD or another good one Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 12.1MP with 18x POWER Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD
