Hello everyone,
I'm heaving a problem chosing a camera and i want a 2nd opinion :)
I want a camera to take pictures of animals and nature, want something width a good zoom.
I'm on low budget(250€ max)
i liked Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72, and i can get a new one for 200-230€, for that price can i get anything better? or this one isnt good for that price? just want to be sure :)

thx all :)

if you will ask me I'll go with Canon PowerShot SX500 IS. Lately I sold my 500d for $250 it has a 55-250mm IS Stm lens. you might see a better camera than bridge. try the pawnshop, or find a seller of a used DSLR.

are you a wildlife reasercher? you said you are taking pictures of an animal?

I'm not sure It depends on you as a professional video edtor/ photographer I dont care about zoom I care about aperture and sharpnes. I have a 50mm and if you ask zoom it can't zoom but it cost almost $500. what is you country?
