I'm planning to buy a beginner camera?
Panasonic lumix fz 200, nikon 60x or cfanon s-50hs.
i'm confused which one to buy?
please give me suggetions.
I'm a photographer, well aspiring photographer, and i started off with my uncles Nikon d40x. Which is a good starter dslr. And now I'm getting a better starter dslr with video for my 16th birthday, the nikon d3300. I would go with nikon because thats what I'm used to but cannon is also very good, but I'm not sure about panasonic, i only know them for decent tvs haha.
Try pana or cannon. Both take amazing pictures. Nikon is okay.
I started with a Panasonic DMC FZ-38, i think cause a Panasonic lumix FZ 200 is better, if you want to see photos by my Panasonic check this out
The Nikon P600 crams 16 MP into the little 1/2.3" sensor, giving it more noise than the 12 MP Panasonic FZ200 or Canon SX50 HS. 60X optical zoom is a gimmick that is not likely to be useful. The P600 lacks a hotshoe.
The image quality of the Panasonic FZ200 and Canon SX50 HS are close.

The Panasonic's 24X zoom range is a less impressive looking number than the Canon's 50X. The longer focal lengths will be rarely useful. You need a good tripod to use them (which you should get anyway), and sometimes atmospheric haze and thermal distortion will be magnified. The Panasonic trades a bigger zoom number for wider aperture at telephoto, which can sometimes be helpful.
Both have hotshoes, which can be good to have. If you buy a flash for the Panasonic, it will also be compatible with many Panasonic and Olympus Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and a few of their premium compacts. If you buy a flash for the Canon, it will be compatible with the Canon DSLR's and a few premium compacts.
The Panasonic has more video features than Canon

I personally don't care for the Canon SX 50 HS, mainly it is too hard to hold the camera steady without the sides of the image shaking (telephoto position). I'm looking forward to trying the just out Pentax XG ($400) which has similar features to the Canon. But I have the Pentax X-5 similar to Canon SX-10 series Powershot. But I find the Pentax less complicated to operate and find my way around in actual use! BY the way I just had a shot blown to 16x20 and was truly amazed at the quality. Now I wonder why I went all out for my Pentax DSLR and 5 lenses.
Get the one that has a viewfinder - or a Fujifilm.
