Hi all, I’m trying to get my mate into the world of digital photography as he still uses a film SLR camera. He doesn’t want to buy a digital SLR and would prefer to start with one of those dinky mini SLR types (Fuji for example) with the 10x zoom. How good are these quality wise, speed of focus, quick shooting mode etc ? Quick enough to take 3 or 4 landing shots in quick succession ? Thanks. Gary

You may get reasonable results with a bridge camera (mini DSLR), but you’ll very soon want something “better”; better and faster AF tracking, better viewfinder, faster frames/sec, interchangeable and faster lenses, etc., etc.
If you are likely to take aviation photography seriously eventually, my advice would be to steer clear of those “mini DSLR’s” and opt straight for a proper DSLR.
