It's a bridge camera, and not the best in it's class. In the price range, look at a Fujifilm S1800.
Nope, A professional camera has to have the following things under my standards: A good optical senor of +15 pixels A image stabilizer for motion photography and stabilization. A good exposure range EV -0.5-18 ( ISO 100 ) min Light Sensitivity ISO 3200, ISO 100-1600 Exposure Compensation ±3 EV range, in 1/2 or 1/3 EV steps Should be able to process image in RAW format There are something that I would look for in a professional camera, Hope this help, but Profesional DSLR don't come in cheap be ready to spend $1000.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
