Any suggestions for a more light sensitive camera WITH a 0 cm macro and extreme zoom?
please do let me know as i wanna purchase one real soon and i am terribly confused which one to go for
canon sx40 or sony hx 100v or nikon p510 or any entry level dslr
I have used both SONY and Canon. Overall, Sony is catching up. I have SX40HS and quite happy with it.
If you want to buy a Sony, make sure to buy a G lens or Alpha. Carl Zeiss is not very good in low light.
please help...sony Cybershot DSC-HX100v or canon SX40 or nikon P500?
i think sony is the best choice.
I got an SX40HS to compare it with SX20IS for a week. I had both cameras with me in the car, as as I was driving, I saw a deer almost 100 meters away from the road. I first put the SX20 on the tripod, but I could not zoom at the deer at that long distance. Then I put SX40, and in just 2 seconds, I could take the shot:

You can have a look at the sample pictures on my website taken by Canon SX40 HS, under the Winter folder:

The macro feature of the camera is superb, as you can simply attach the lens to the object:
