I'm just getting into photography and has done a good bit of research on various photographic techniques and jargon - just to get myself comfortable and a little bit more knowledgeble to engage in constructive conversations with fellow Club-Snappers (if i may call you guys that =D). Now, I'm looking for a decent camera to get me started.
I've read around and enquired about the price of both 1st and 2nd hand of the above cameras and I was wondering which one should I pick. I like pictures to be clean - minimal noise, and I enjoy O.I.S, with a good zoom range. Some manual control like AP and SP ain't gonna hurt either. CA - from all 3 cameras seem acceptable to me.
The only difference between F7/F20 and F30 that matters to me is the noise level. As you might know, F30 is a camera whose images are very clean, which definately appeals to me. However, it's kinda crippled in the zoom category, having a 3x zoom only. Wheraes the F7/F20 has ois and a very good 12x zoom. However, it's very noisy. Shooting at lower ISO will help reduce the impact of the noise.
My question is, is a low ISO range, is 80-200 good enough for use? I mean, if I were to shoot a scene with 100 iso and 200 iso, how much different would the shutter speed be? If it's not alot, I don't think the low iso and slightly longer exposure times would be that bad.
I like the clean images of F30, long zoom range and O.I.S of F20. How?!
