B+H B35HDZ

[Hike Pics]

I won this NEW camera on an action a while back for $12. Seems nobody wanted it because it wasn't a current big name brand. But, actually, it IS a BIG brand.....that is.....if it is made by Asia Optical, who has made a HUGE number of cameras for a long time now. I think they know their stuff! And of course it isn't Bell & Howell like the old days but is licensed/distributed on BHH LLC by Elite Brands in NY for the US market. But, from my personal experience shooting it A LOT lately, it is a pretty nice camera, especially for its inteded market. There's P, Tv, Av (only 2 available), M, SCN, Panorama, ART and Intelligent Auto. Also HDR, EV Bracketing, Histogram, Max ISO Auto, Moon Mode with 5 WB colors to choose from, AEL/AFL, Time Lapse, Backgroud Defocus, Burst, Continuous Focus, Tracking Focus, Pre-Shoot and more.

Specs: ?" CMOS / 20MP / 25-875mm / F3-5.9 / 3" LCD / 1-1/2,000 shutter (4 sec. in Fireworks Mode) / 1080p60. This looks to have the same lens as the Sony H300 bridge.

There's my 5 shot limit, more at DPR. These are all Program Mode, no post. By the way, this camera is the same as the Minolta MN35Z. Maybe one day I'll get the 67x version.
