http://tgiblackfriday.com/Target/Nikon-L320-16-1MP-Digital-Camera-with-26x-Optical-Zoom-deal

Im looking to get a camera soon. I saw these two for the same price and thought i wonder which is better.

Answer 1

Nothing in it. Both excellent

Answer 2

Fujifilm Finepix S4430

Answer 3

The Fujifilm has a viewfinder and manual controls, the Nikon doesn't.



I'd advise Lithium or rechargeable batteries, though, Alkalines don't last very long in digital cameras.



As you can see, these are older models that just wouldn't shift, but the Fujifilm is a VERY nice piece of kit.

Answer 4

I have a Nikon DSLR that I love taking pictures with. It is my first DSLR. I do, however, absolutely LOVE Fuji cameras, and I've learned on Fuji cameras. So the question for you is do you want to learn how to shoot pictures using manual, programmable, aperture and shutterspeed settings or do you just want to take great pictures without figuring any of that out and have the camera do it for you? I started with Fuji cameras and learned with that so I could graduate to a DSLR. I got a Nikon DSLR because I was told that Fuji wouldn't be making them anymore, and I got a really great deal on the Nikon because it was used. I have taken what I learned on the Fuji and have been able to apply that new knowledge to the Nikon. Both will take excellent pictures - what you get depends on what you want to do with the camera. The Nikon on sale is more or less a point and shoot, while the Fuji will have the automatic mode, you can get a bit more creative and learn a bit more using the other settings.

Answer 5

I bought the fuji s4430 because it was the lowest for its range. It has fully auto and manual settings. Both will do 720 HD videos. The nikon only has auto settings and NO EVF. However, Im a diehard NIKON person. But the price is too sweet and went with the Fuji. In the future id like to get another Coolpix (my old coolpix 800 did me very well for 10+ years) Plus the Fuji feels nice too.

Check here a good photography course online:

You can be like the masses of humanity and buy a camera you can afford that has auto this and that for worry free picture taking. And learn through trial and error how to use something like aperture or shutter priority auto modes or even attempt to use the thing on full manual mode.

You seem to know already there is some thinking to using a camera and to take pictures. A good place to start is by reading the owners manual that comes with a camera. Read the information and look at the illustrations with part names and look at the real camera. Handle the camera and take pictures. Let me rephrase that. Take pictures to learn how to use the camera and maybe even to keep some. Don't start with important stuff you cannot photograph over again such as birthdays, a toddlers first steps. That puts picture taking out of the learning phase and puts the pressure and emphasis to taking pictures for real and to keep.

These first pictures are for you to learn how to use your camera. And you have learned how to use your camera when you can take pictures with it and can teach others how to use it. Honest. You can also go to a college in your area and take a beginning photography course. There you will be taught the basics even a pro must learn and do in their work. Camera handling and use, taking exposures with film and/or digital cameras, and maybe even some photo assignments to get some real time learning. In this learning do not take serious pictures you must keep as that detracts from the learning aspect of the class. Do so only if you have mastered the use of your camera before class is over.

It's like growing up in a way. And I am happy you know there is a way to learn how to use a camera and take pictures. It's like learning how to drive I suppose. Someone can teach you or you can get taught at a driving school. Both will get you a drivers liscense. One though will really teach you the fundamentals you can use for the rest of your driving career.

Answer 7

Nikon makes cameras from basic point & shoots, to professional grade cameras that have scaled Mt. Everest, gone to the International Space Station, and to Antarctica. Fujifilm makes nice point & shoots and some good bridge cameras. Nikon has my vote (as well as much of my wallet).
