Going away in a few weeks and need to get myself a new camera. I have a decent Canon but its too big to carry around all the time. I need something small that i can put in my pocket. Looking to spend about £150ish - any recommendations on whats going to give me good shots for that price?

muchos gracias

stretch a little more and this would be perfect

on 2nd thoughts... Gareth that camera you just posted the link for looks class

 

Ive got a Samsung S1030 and it's good enough for what i use it for (same sort of thing you want one for) i got it on offer in currys about 8 months ago for £89 obviously you aint going to get David Bailey quality with it for £89 but it is a good little camera imo

thanks chaps. That panasonic does look a fair bit of kit for the money. Want something that will take decent pics so am happy to stretch a bit ta.

 

i recommend a panasonic - superb lenses got one for my birthday this year, and it's compact enough to take anywhere, yet has a 10x zoom to get some great pictures from a distance

 

i took this with a tz3!

 

I've got a Casio EX600 and it's brilliant.

Very thin too, so fits in the pocket without a fuss.

Email me the specs on those laptops too mate...

 

i want one thats gonna take good pics as well, not just be small enough to fit in my pocket. Gareths winning so far as he's posting pics lol! i'll take a look at panasonic range though.

anyone got any thoughts on fuji finepix stuff?

PM on its way Ponster

 

fuji finepix is good, but often the megapixel rating is kind of exaggerated because of the construction of their sensor.

if you're going away near water, i highly recommend an Aquapac as you can keep your camera dry and even take it snorkelling

here's some pics i took with an aquapac, although not with my panasonic

 

Duly noted re finepix, ta.

That Aquapac looks like its worth its weight! nice pics btw - is that in Thailand?

 

yep

 

Cheers for the link Gareth

i just bought that camera on saturday, hopefully be delivered today

 

get some photos up!

 

Will do when it turns up... had another disappointing arrival home today hope it turns up tomorrow
