whats teh score for piccys these days , i need something that ca take fast moving piccys with no hesitation at all , in all conditions , but not at sill money ???????

 

Don't know much about that mate, but take a look at DP Review.
Lot's of info about a lot of different camera's including owners opinions

Got myself a Olympus C-765UZ and am really pleased with it

 

Even the best Fuji digicams are very slow compared to a SLR 35mm

They take pukka pics but are slow to react to the button push if you are after action shots.

i wouldnt buy electrical stuff like that on ebay never trusted ebay for that

 

Its very frustrating. I guess its because the cameras too clever. It wants to take the best possible picture, so it takes the half second to work it all out.

I find for action shots on our Canon A70 that if you push the button half way it beeps and a green box appears where the camera has focused. I do this so the box is where I know the subject will be. Then I hold it like that until the things in the shot and then fully press the button.

Like this



However occasionally the you can get fuzzy shots where the focus is not exactly right. Ie. not on the thing I intended.



Its not ideal and until a manufacturer can reduce shutter lag (as its called) its still hit and miss. 35mm is still the best for that. Even pro photographers just set to rapid fire. You can see them panning with the subject and hear the camera banging away. Guarantees them a shot, but its not an option most amateurs have got.

 

just bought a cannon power shot A75,must say i am very impressed with the quality and speed of the camera

 

I've had a Sony T-1 for a couple of months and i'm very pleased, it's a great cam. It has the usual half second focus delay, but also has an instant capture feature, where you can press just the button and it takes an instant pic, with no disernable quality loss Various settings for high speed capture as well.

what are the fuji range like ??? i had a fuji (early one) years ago and iirc was a decent cam ??

 

Cannon IXUS are good,especially the 500 which has come down on price.

Ive got an IXUS II and got no complaints

 

All of the fuji finepix range are good value for money digital compacts, with plenty of features to suit all pockets, I use a Fuji S2 pro (digital SLR) can't fault it, although Fuji's after sales service leaves a bit to be desired if you ever have a problem
