直至最近發現市面上有叫做 Superzoom prosumer 半專業長炮相機, 可zoom 很多倍又唔洗好多$, 最啱我啲又唔係pro 又唔想帶住唔同鏡頭週圍走, + 唔想俾咁多嘅人. 研究咗好耐,終於喺佢嘅眾多對手 (Nikon Coolpix P500, Sony Cybershot DSC-HX100v, Fujifilm FinePix HS22, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150) 勝出. 初時喺Panasonic 同Canon 兩邊走來走去, 決定唔倒, 但最終為咗佢嘅35x zoom (vs. Panasonic 嘅24x)而決定買佢. 對我嚟講, 要影鳥鳥, 能放大多幾多得幾多. 另外吸引我嘅地方就係24mm wide angle 同 0cm macro. 呢部機亦可拍 full HD movies. 雖然上網睇咗好多, 但係實際自已啱唔啱心水, 就要自已試過先知啦!
I have wanted to buy a camera that can take macro pictures (miniatures, plants and flowers etc.) and at the same time that can take pictures for far away objects (like birds) for a long time. Every time when I'm out traveling I feel that my Lumix DMC-FX38 is not enough (even though it's a very good camera). The Lumix can't give me that "sharp in the front but blurry in the back" look.
Until I found that there are cameras called Superzoom prosumer type, which I can zoom in a lot and not pay lots of $ like the DSLRs. This is good news for me because I can pay less and I don't have to carry too much weight around. I've searched around the internet for quite a bit and among the competitors (Nikon Coolpix P500, Sony Cybershot DSC-HX100v, Fujifilm FinePix HS22, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150), the Canon PowerShot has won. At first I was struggling between Panasonic and Canon (which I think were the best for me to choose from) and couldn't decide. But finally I've decided on the Canon because of its great zoom, 35x (vs. Panasonic's 24x). If I like to take bird photos, I figured that I should get the one with more zoom. The bigger the better. The other thing that attracts me is the 24mm wide angle and 0cm macro. It can also take full HD movies. Although I've read a lot on the internet before buying, I'd still have to try it out to see whether or not the camera really suits my needs. Will see how it goes!
Feb 26, 12 相機當望遠鏡 Use the Canon as Binoculars
後記: So far 去觀鳥帶住部Canon 都好高興. 唔算好重, zoom 得好埋, 如果唔想太重, 相機當望遠鏡用. 尤其打橫掃啲鳥鳥一流, 因為佢打橫去得好順, 一直咁滑過去, 好暢順. 有時focus 需要啲時間 (有說此不及Lumix 150), 但zoom 到咁大我覺得唔可以expect 咁多. I'm happy with it.
近鏡反而唔係最好, 有啲難操作, 影得太近個鏡頭頂住件物件tim. That's why, 佢係叫Superzoom, 而非Supermacro囉!
After using the camera for a few birding trips (and some uses at home), I feel that I'm happy with it. It's not really heavy, and can zoom in quite a lot. If I don't want to carry too much, I could use it as binoculars. The Canon is especially good when you're panning across the field because it naturally glides you smoothly across the field. Sometimes when you're moving it needs some time (not as good as the Lumix 150, some say) for focusing but I think with a great zoom you can't expect that much.
