Shopper conversation with Courtney B on July 13, 2016

Courtney B
Hi! How are you? I noticed that you were looking at Nikon cameras?
Did you have questions about any in particular?
Do you work for Adorama?
Courtney B
No, I do not
I'm a photographer, here for camera advice :-)
Okay. I just bought an Olympus Tough and its not the write fit for me for what I do. I take a lot of pictures inside peoples homes for my job. I had a Cannon similar to the Nikon 900 but it broke after 2 years so I gave up on Cannon. I have a Nikon DSLR and really like it. Now for the question, what good point and shoot should I get especially for low light conditions and macro, which are the two most important.
Courtney B
Ok
Oops right not write
Courtney B
Did you have a budget in mind for the camera at all?
under 500, preferably under 350
Courtney B
Ok
Let me see what options you'd have
Thank you.
Courtney B
You're welcome
I like the bigger sized Point and shoot because I have bigger hands and the smaller ones like the one I have is difficult to hang on too.
Courtney B
Ok, that's good to know!
Thanks
And do you prefer something other than Canon brand?
I am looking for something else, yes.
Courtney B
Ok
I am happy with my Nikon however, I just had a problem with my Nikon DSLR it wont turn on, do you know what can cause that?
Its a D90
Courtney B
No, I'm not sure. But if you called Nikon, they might have some ideas or you can send it in to them to be looked at
Are you ok with a used camera?
Or do you prefer new?
Doesn't have to be but...

Ok!
The Panasonic FZ300 would be my top recommendation for good low light and macro
It's on sale for $497.99 right now, so it's at the very top of your budget

The Sony HX400 would be another good option, but not quite as good in low light as the Panasonic
Okay great. I just need it to last, I take about a 1000 pictures a week. I like the splash and dust capabilities. Thank you very much!!! that was very helpful and didn't know this type of service existed. New ideas coming up all the time, good to see. Is there anything I can do for you?
