Looking for a cheap around £30 digital compact camera with a big zoom for use at stadium concerts ?

Hell I am look for a digital compact camera with a big zoom for  concerts  and sporting events like WWE and stadium gigs.

I currently have Fuji Bridge camera  which is good for most things like NFL games and other stuff .

However at concerts and some events big cameras are not allowed.

So I am looking for a camera which has long zoom so I can even be at the back of a stadium or arena and I can get a close up photo of stage or ring .

My limit is £30 roughly .

I look forward to hearing from you.

As you're probably aware a £30 limit is very low and there's not really much suitable in that range.  Panasonic pretty much created this market with the TZ series and you could pick up one of the very early models in the price range:

Bear in mind these are old cameras, their zooms are only 10-12x and the image quality is going to be behind newer models and mobile phones.

Also bear in mind that these type of cameras are not brilliant at low light photography and also sometimes have difficulty in focusing and get the right exposure for brightly lit stages at night so a manual setting mode and maybe a focus lock function may be worth looking for.

Good luck with the search.

- - - - £30 isn't really a budget - - - -  it will cost more than that for the Entrance-Ticket, surely?

Something like £300 is a decent starting-point.
IMHO the snag with a phone is the handling in a crowded space - and few have optical zoom lens, relying on digital zoom to discard pixels.

I have a FZ*** (dunno) but it's 12x zoom and about 5Mpx - I fear the battery is probably non-available and whilst a 5Mpx at 12x should beat a modest new camera ( when enlarged 12x ), it's not a good investment . . .  as others have explained.

Good Luck.

No chance unless it's broken. I wish I could be more helpful but I cannot see how you could get everything the OP is aking for at £30.

Even if you could get a digital compact with a long zoom it will not be ideal for it's intended use due to the inevitable camera shake and poor low light capabilties if used inside for example.

Did he seriously mean £30, or £300 ??????

What do you expect for £30, a toy especially new

Think....

It costs £30

after manufacturing costs,  seller commission, transport you have something with £4 worth of parts !!!, why is it that you can't find them on Google when you google reviews of them ?

Can't you save up, though I do ask, is this a serious post as 10 years on forums no one has asked for a £30 camera

I am sure you can check ebay for compact cameras up to £30
