A friend wants to buy a Digital SLR camera to use mostly for bird photography, landscapes etc. He was thinking of buying the new Panasonic Lumix, but I see it's criticized for high noise levels. Can anyone recommend a suitable camera for him to buy. Thank you.

Hi there!

I have the Panasonic FZ30 and it is fantastic. I disagree with the statement about it having high noise levels. It takes fantastic pictures and it has a good write up in many Photograpic mags. why dont you go to a camera shop and test it out for yourself, i bought mine from Bestcameras.co.uk. Cheapest i could find �400. Could luck

Canon and Nikon are both very good for low noise levels, but the most important consideration is, in fact the lens. For landscapes you will want at least a standard lens (50mm equiv) if not wide-angle, but if it's bird photography they're after, then a good telephoto is essentail. I'd recommend a focal length of at least 200mm for that.
