Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Put me firmly in the old school box with a 'Phone used for making calls and a camera for photographs My current camera is a Nikon Coolpix B700 and it is the best travel camera I have ever owned It weighs in at around 600grammes so I can carry it in a compact padded bag and when I start shooting I can hang it around my neck and almost forget it is there. It has a viewfinder which I find indispensable for composing an image and the rear screen folds out and swivels, enabling over the head shots, selfies ( if you must or sneaky candids. Best of all there is a 60x zoom for wildlife and sports shots and Imade good use of this on our recent Kenyan holiday. The sensor is a bit small and the long zoom needs good light for best results but the resulting images are more than good enough for my purposes. My wife carries a compact Canon which we often take to restaurants or around the ships or resorts when something discrete is better. No disrespect to genuine enthusiasts or professionals but when I am on holidays my main aim is to enjoy the sights and bring home a record of the trip. I don't want to cart a heavy camera and a bag of lenses around and spend more time behind the camera than enjoying the trip.
