Nikon L110 of Fujifilm S1900

[D4N13L]

Need your help on choosing one of the above cameras guys. I know they are only bridge cameras but for the money i think it will be a good start.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I have the s1900 and really happy with it.

I know its not a dslr but can you adjust the shutter speed or apperture on the s1900?

 

[rory182]

Yeah it has limited adjustment, can also set to aperture priority etc. It's better than I am, good introduction to photography I think.

How much are they?
Not looked at the lumix range?

Here's an example of a low light shot with aperture priority on taken on the s1900:

I paid about £110 for mine direct from Fuji as a manufacturer refurb:

The Lumix are prob better but the fuji price was right.

I'd be looking at the FZ38 for an extra £40. or maybe even the FZ28.

I've done a lot of research and these 2 would be hard to beat.

Thats qute a nice shot actually

The s1900 is only £129 in jessops at the moment and the nikon is £139 in tesco. searching the net and the nikon hasnt had that great reviews.

 

[D4N13L]

Well went for it and brought the s1900. I had a play with both and opted for the fujifilm because you can adjust shutter speed and aperature (spelling). I cant beleive how much there is to learn on it. Should be a good platform to learn on ready for an SLR.

Mate of mine has the Nikon L110 - not bad wee camera for someone starting off but for the lack of features and manual mode etc I wouldn't reccommend it to "expand" your experimenting with photos

You can also get an adapter for the Fuji which will let you fit filters, wide angle lenses and macro lenses. Which you wouldn't expect being a fixed lens:

Being a complete noob what would this allow me to do?

Wider angle - get a much wider view onto the shot
Macro for close-up shots
