lowdowneye Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi I need advice. I lost my beloved E900 at a festival a couple of weeks ago. I have a D80 but found the E900 superb as a carry everywhere camera. I liked the quality, the pop up flash (so I didn't have to change flash mode for non-flash photos), the speed, the size, price, low light capability and loads more. I have been looking for a replacement that is comparable but also cheap (less than £125) but nothing seems to live up to it. Are there any alternatives to buying a new old E900? I have no use for long lenses etc. but might be interested in anti shake and better low light capability. Any suggestions? Many thanks, Jon<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petemillis Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Can't think of a better replacement. I bought my daughter a second hand (3 month old) E900 and now take it everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyinca Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 If you can pay a bit more or find a good deal, check out a Canon (old) G6. It replaceed my E900 and I am happy with it. Love the fuji E900 but the plus side of a G6 is flip LCD, f2 lens, faster with RAW and share batteries+flash card+speedlight (TTL) with my other Canon gears. Noise is about the same consider Canon's ISO 400 is really closer than 800. Longer zoom and a tad bit better with macro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdowneye Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Thank you. G6 is beyond my pocket and I would rather have a new camera with guarantee etc. I will continue to mull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdowneye Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Just got a Nikon P5100 - still not sure whether I like it though. Focus seems very slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
