    Hey guys, looking to upgrade my 3year old camera to a more decent camera.
    Ive come across this Nikon Coolprix Bridge L810 and looks quite good and sounds good with what its spec and features are! Am only really looking at taking detailed pictures of my car and also at festivals/concerts of which i can zoom in quite far. Due to the lackage of this on my current camera this Nikon looks quite appealing due to its due optical zoom capacity! Here's the information on the camera...

    The best advice I can give is use the photography section where people ask about camera's.

    After a day or two your thread would have been buried in gen chat. People with thr knowhow in the photography section would see it for weeks and give you much more advice

    You could get a good used DSLR for under £200, you don't have to spend hundreds on them at all.
    Although, if you did decide to go for the one you have mentioned I'd recommend getting it from here for a good price.

    Funny thing is quite a few pros are actually utilising the micro 4/3s set ups for quite alot these days.

    The mirrorless set ups are very good!
