Camera: Budget 3K

[copacetic]

Hi,

I don't know much about photography, but would like to get someone a gift. They are looking for a compact camera that can do decent close-up photography as well as obviously just being an all-rounder.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Hi. Game has a sale on at the moment that includes some camera's. I'm actually looking at the Canon SX420. I'm no pro when it comes to photography but for that price, why not!

Was also about to recommend the Canon SX710 - not latest & greatest, but still around the R3k mark at Takealot.

Great zoom, decent image quality and small enough to fit in most people's handbags. Can theoretically do macro up to 1cm away. Might be worthwhile reading up a bit on that specific model, but is a very good all-rounder for the price.

Does that camera also have a slight yellow lense flare like the Nikkon's?

@copa ... who is she? and will we get any pix once you have the camera?

Nope, which is why I'm selling it
