Is this a good camera?

[PorkyChoUk]

Hi all,

 

I just want to know if this camera that I've found on Argos is any good. In terms of good I want it to be able to take good quality pictures of people,landscapes....and also shoot nice quality video. All just under £100.

So is this camera any good? If not what do you recommend for under £100?

Its pretty bad, theres not much at that price TO recommend, its pretty much all bad

 

Something like this would be better, at least it shoots 1080p

If you can consider buying used equipment, you might find something like a Canon 20D or D90.

Careful, not all old DLSrs shoot video ie the 20D for example (or are just ultra shit)

Youre better off buying a new smart phone... imo.

 

Anytime some one asks for cameras for (insert price point) these are usually the cameras I advise when it comes to video work:

 

• FZ300 - $250 to $350 Used
• Lumix G7 - $500 New or &450 Used
• NX500 - $400 to $550 Used (Dead system)
• Black Magice Pocket Cinema Camera - $700 to $800
• NX1 - $900 Used (Dead system)
• A6300 or GH4 - $1000 New
• A7R II and A7S II - $1500 to $2000
• Black Magic Ursa Mini 4k - $3000 to $4000
• RED - If you're on a budget... goood luck hahaha

Why not go rent one. If you're simply testing the water and don't want to plop down a rather large chunk of money for a body + lense setup.

 

See if there's any local shop around that rent out body and lense and check their pricing. I personally don't know how much they should cost, most I've rented is a polarizer filter. But they should be a heck of a lot less than buying complete setup brand new or used.
