DSLR or fixed-lens digital camera?




G


I've been considering either the Nikon D5100, or Fujifilm Finepix HS20,
the photo quality on both seemed nice, and while it would be nice to have interchangeable lenses, cost is also a factor...? ideas?



Answer
What do you want to do with your photography?

Take control and produce high quality images, you will need a dSLR and the D5100 is an excellent one.

The Fujifilm HS20 takes the control from you and has a sensor that is over 15 time smaller, thus lower possible quality, once you develop the skills using a fully adjustable camera like the D5100

Digital Camera Question?

Ok, so i am planning on getting a camera pretty soon, and I was wondering what the cheapest camera that I could get ($100-$250) that would be compatible with a fish-eye lens. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks
Also, if there are any digital cameras that take video and create this effect, let me know. and i know, technicallt SLR's cant take video, i was referring to that general style (look) of them, but i also want to take nice pics



Answer
For clarity, some dSLR's can shoot video. For more clarity, only dSLR's use interchangeable lenses and can use a fisheye lens. And for sure, none of them (the cameras) cost under $700 and fisheye lenses cost far more than that.

You may want to do some research and see what it might cost you for such a setup.

The fisheye it uses.

As you can see a fisheye is more than just a lens that causes extreme barrel distortion, it also covers 180 degree coverage.

The $100 to $200 you have saved will buy a P&S camera, but none of the new ones can use a fisheye lens
