I am looking at two different cameras, I need to buy one that can do double duty,
My mom needs a good digital camera for taking amateur still pics.
And I need a good video camcorder for making high quality youtube videos and filmmaking.
Right now I am looking at the following two cameras on Amazon.com;
I like the Panasonic known for great image quality and the Leica lens it comes with.
BUT, the Nikon is much newer model, and I dont know how much the technology has advanced in four years from the Panasonic to the Nikon. Plus Nikon is a pretty hip brand..
Which would YOU buy, and why? or maybe you have a third, better suggestion, for same price range? IDK? Please help, as this is a big purchase for me. and also Mom needs a good digital camera for family photos etc. So I am trying to kill two birds with one stone here. (or take pics and video with same camera, to satisfy both her needs and my filmmaking needs)
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8K 7.2MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
(link below)
OR should I instead buy;
Nikon COOLPIX L120 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 21x NIKKOR Wide-Angle Optical Zoom Lens and 3-Inch LCD (Black)
(link below)
Or maybe you have a better suggestion altogether that I can buy good used for under $200 like these two are available for under $200 in good used condition.. Please advise if so. I am kind of new to all this.. thanks
