Hi,
looking at the photo competition I can see there are some pretty good photographers on here
(flattery over, advice needed) :lol
I'm looking for a new camera to take on a 6 month jaunt round New Zealand in September.
My mother and brother have agreed to buy me one for my birthday, at around £150.
I'm looking at this type of thing:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fujifilm-FinePix...ce_title_1
because I like the look of the ridiculous zoom on it.
Can someone that knows what all those little numbers and letters mean have a little look over it and let me know if there's any standout reason why I shouldn't get it please
Is it worth waiting (birthday isn't until early August) for other cameras to come down in price?
Any other recommendations within the price range?
Many thanks
Tom
