Exclamation New camera advise...

Hey guys, looking to upgrade my 3year old camera to a more decent camera.
Ive come across this Nikon Coolprix Bridge L810 and looks quite good and sounds good with what its spec and features are! Am only really looking at taking detailed pictures of my car and also at festivals/concerts of which i can zoom in quite far. Due to the lackage of this on my current camera this Nikon looks quite appealing due to its due optical zoom capacity! Here's the information on the camera...




The easy to handle vibrant red Nikon Coolpix L810 Compact Digital Camera is packed with features to maximise your photography enjoyment. Compact and powerful For such a compact camera, the NikonCoolpix L810 has a mighty powerful NIKKOR 26x optical zoom lens helping you to catch everything on camera, whether it's a beautiful landscape or faraway subjects, giving you great contrast and clear images.

A feature of the Nikon Coolpix L810 is their Lens-shift VR image stabilization which accommodates for camera shake, so you can take great blur-free photos even when on the move. This 16.1 megapixel camera has 19 scene modes, from portrait, landscape to close-up, to give you lots of options to make sure you get the perfect shot. Select the scene, and the Nikon Coolpix L810 will adjust its settings accordingly.

Fabulous home movies The Nikon Coolpix L810 Compact Digital Camera has the capability to shoot HD 720p movie clips with sound, so you can capture those special occasions on film in amazing definition and stunning colour. With HDMI connectivity, you can connect your NikonCoolpix L810 to your HD TV, and share your photos and films with your friends and family on the big screen.

Share with your friends WiFi capable with an Eye-Fi X2 card, the Nikon Coolpix L810 enables you to wirelessly transfer your photos and videos direct to your Smart phone or PC, and from there connect to the internet and Nikon's My Picturetown, their photo sharing service. The Coolpix L26 Compact Digital Camera is Pictbridge compatible, so you can print direct from your camera without the need to download them first. With great looks and fantastic functions, the Nikon Coolpix L810 Compact Digital Camera is a great choice for all occasions.

Key Features:
26x zoom optical zoom lens (35mm equiv: 22.5–585mm)
Easy Auto mode
Side zoom lever
16 megapixel CCD sensor
720p HD video recording
3.0 inch 921k-dot LCD screen
Lens shift VR (vibration reduction)
ISO 80 - 1600
Best shot selector (BSS)
3D shooting mode
Smart portrait system
19 scene modes
SD memory type
EXPEED C2 image processing system

Is it worth buying? Has anyone got one or know anyone with one that knows about them? i.e problems

Thanks

The best advice I can give is use the photography section where people ask about camera's.

No excuse.

The forum sections are not just there to make the place look pretty.

After a day or two your thread would have been buried in gen chat. People with thr knowhow in the photography section would see it for weeks and give you much more advice

You could get a good used DSLR for under £200, you don't have to spend hundreds on them at all.
Although, if you did decide to go for the one you have mentioned I'd recommend getting it from here for a good price.

Funny thing is quite a few pros are actually utilising the micro 4/3s set ups for quite alot these days.

The mirrorless set ups are very good!
