Im looking at digital cameras at the moment but dont know a lot about them. Looking to pay about £250-300 so what do you ppl recommend??

Any demo pics would be good too

 

Pay a bit more and get a digital SLR. If you want a digital camera of course.

 

Sony DSC-P200

7.2 Megapixels, Video Mode with Sound, and stacks of features...pic quality is awesome.....came down in price a lot too...

Very worthwhile purchase !!

 

I got a Canon IXUS 40

its about a year or two old now but is 4 megapixel and still produces good quality photo's
but now the newer 5,6,7,8 megapixel models can be had from around 110 quid

heres some pics at medium quality and resolution. The only pics i got at the moment to show you, theyre possibly scaled down by photoshop i cant remember.

 

depends wot u want one for - i go for small flat pocket sized ones as i cant do with carrying clobber around - minimum 5 meg pixel, i think i'm getting a samsung i6 next - its £129 on amazon, has mp3 okayer on it too plus the memory cards are what my phone & laptop uses too so it suits my purpose.

 

i got myself a sony T30 recently
does everything you would want a camera to do and does video on top

 

try a fuji f10 has all above features about £200 fits in pocket standard mem cards

 

forgot to add the ixus 40 does video with sound at 640x480 @ 30fps.

 

just want it for general use really but want awesome pic quality and not too worried about size but nothing too big.

Have been looking at a couple of samsung cams myself and also heard good things about sony.

 

its all about pixels then features

 

checked out some reviews of this camera and it sounds the nuts. Didnt have much at all to say about this camera that was bad.

How much did you pay for it dojj??

 

i paid £330 all in for it with 2 gig worth of memory too
but this was in india where they are a bit priceier
i've seen them on the net for as low as about £240 and then they go up to about the £280-90 mark form more reputable outlets like amazon etc

i've got a black one but there are some good prices there, even duty free they were upwards of about the £220 mark and i bought mine from sony with a 5 year warranty so i'm willing to pay the extra for that

 

also, pics come out very good with the average size being around the 3mb mark

 

ive found it for £244 from "buyacamera" which is really cheap compared to argos etc.

This cam will defo go on my shortlist

I would go for the smallest camera that you can get. That way there is no excuse for not dragging it around and getting the snaps you want.

Silver

 

Canon Eos 400d

Got it yesterday and its fantastic a bargain at just under £500

 

Canon Powershot A75 3.2MP got it free as I work for a Canon Disitributor and we had some left after a promotion

 

PM 'Bezo' on here, he's got a belter for sale for £350, Curries/Comet have just reduced the same camera to £499,
There is cock all wrong with it, just the posh cunt wants to upgrade.

 

Canon SD630. 6MP and the video footage is sweet

 

Canon IS S3. I have the S2 (previous version) and theres not alot different between the S2 and S3 part from the S3 is slightly better. 5mp (6mp for the S3) and 12x optical zoom makes a fantastic camera, great in all light and only £240

The only problem is its not very compact, but the whole camera is much much better than a compact camera so you can understand why ts a bit bigger.

Some random pics i have taken with my S2 :















plus takes great video too (that was low res to save space on the memory card) :

 

i have a canon powershot a620 with 7.1 mp

 

Got a Kodak Easyshare DX4530 and have used it for well over 10,000 pictures - many of them are fantastic too thats just for quicksnapping tho. For something a bit fancy with a few features, I bought a Megexon C450 or whatever the model is, cost me 80 quid second hand and is a cheepy digital SLR style camera - takes some nice pictures and has a lot of settings.

Currently saving up for a Canon EOS400d - they are going for about £500 with a lens and delivery etc etc and is a fantatsic entry level Professional Digital SLR

 

I just bought one of these today at Costco for £140 - also got a 1Gb Memory Stick Duo for £23.

Good review here!
