Shopper conversation with Courtney B on June 09, 2016

Hi! How are you? I noticed that you were looking at the Sony HX80?
Did you have some questions about this camera tonight?
Did you want another with interchangeable lenses?
Or something more along the lines of this Sony?
Probably not with interchangeable lenses because it will take more time and I'm traveling with people that are not much into photography...I need something I can use quickly...with good zoom good for landscaping more that anything
Courtney B
Ok
Let me see what we have
Thanks
Courtney B
You're welcome!
I'm still checking
One minute :-)
ok..waiting
Courtney B
Just trying to find something that's really distinguished from this one
Fantastic

About how much zoom do you want? Do you want more than 4x?
Well...best I can get...never been in Yellowstone but I imagine it is quite some distance from where I can shoot since is dangerous getting to close to geyser and hot springs over there
Courtney B
Ok. The main issue is that when you get into higher quality compact cameras, the zoom range is SMALL
4x is pretty typical
If you want more zoom than that, you'll have to go up to a larger zoom camera
Ok...so..what do you have in mind accordingly...I would lok more into detail after
Courtney B
Something like this for example
Ok...looks good...any other options you can think of
Courtney B
Sure!
With less zoom, this would be a great option
Here are some great options!
And this Panasonic as well http://www.adorama.com/IPCDML...
