Hi All,
Apologies in advance for such a long post
I am off to South Africa for 6 months from June and am finding it extremely difficult to decide which camera would be best for me. I have not done much photography at all, but after a recent trip to Zimbabwe, one of my biggest regrets was only having my smart phone and so have decided to invest in a camera.
I have decided on a bridge camera for ease of use and price. Would people agree this is the best option?
Also, how important is weather proofing going to be? So far I have only managed to find one bridge camera which is advertised as weather proofed!
Finally, any recommendations on cameras you may have used for wildlife photography/ safaris etc would be greatly appreciated! Finding it extremely difficult to know what suits my needs best.
p.s. At this moment in time, I am swaying towards a Panasonic Lumix fz300/330 (this being the only weather-proofed one I have seen so far), and getting a tele-conversion lens for extended zoom. What are people's thoughts on this?
TIA! :)
