i'm biginner but could be expert also. wanna take artistic snaps, great closeups of small things, butterfly, flowers etc. as well as movies. the camera should give high quality artistic image results and the camera should be capable to take closeups with background blurr from 50" feet distance

Which camera do you recommend for Abhishek-Sharma1?

Nikon D3100 - $447
14.2 MP|APS-C CMOS|3" LCD
Nikon P510 - $339
15.9 MP|41.7x f/3.0|1/2.5" CMOS|3" LCD

    Hi Abhishek, there are two great cameras you're looking at. I think I'd recommend the P510 because of its huge zoom lens. It features 36x zoom, in one lens. You won't be able to get anything like that on a DSLR like the Nikon D3100.

    Having a single 36x zoom lens will mean you can take close up shots far away, and take regular photos of things near you without having to carry extra lenses or change lenses.

      Hi Alex

      Do you advise any special care/training for using Zoom of 43X or so?
      Is it difficult to manage and a tripod is a must for outdoors?
      Does SX40 perform better than P510, though it has less zoom and no GPS?
      I am curious!
      Regards
