Some moron broke into my truck and found the Nikon 5200 digital camera, which was stashed under my seat. I sure wish I had uploaded my Colorado climbing trip pics...
So, I need a new pro-sumer camera for climbing. Any suggestions? :?
My preferences:
- <$550.
- Lightweight, to carry while trad or alpine climbing.
- 4, 5 or 6 megapixels.
- 3x optical or greater.
- Quick start-up.
- Multiple settings (landscape, night, sports, people, etc.)
- Minimal shutter-lag (correct term?); sports mode would take care of this.
- Excellent color/image.
- Long battery life; not sure if AA batteries, NimH or Lith Ion is best. (I understand some of the different debate points).
I have reviewed previous threads. Everyone on this site seems impressed with the Canon A75, A80, etc. And yes, I am aware of www.dpreview.com
I was thinking about again buying the Nikon 5200, unless recommended otherwise!
Thanks in advance,
JD
