Might buy a new digi camera on holiday if the price is right So whats good and whats not for around the £300 mark

Thanks

 

Sony DSC-P200, top little camera. www.pixmania.co.uk

 

Penatx Optio 6 or Canon IXUS 750 - nothin comes close. I use them/sell them all, and for that money these are ur two. They are the best compact cameras on the market bar none.

 

Price up an Ixus 700

Finally, one taken with its inbuilt "Animal mode" it seems to use a little lower res and very fast shutter, and captured her tongue very nicely for digital

ive got a sony dsc p200 also and its really good cant fault it one bit!

 

Oh and Rick, any idea what the difference is between the 700 and 750? as i cant really see any at all....

 

i got a Canon Ixus 40 and cant fault it, other than the newer ixus ranges having more megapixels but tbh 4 is more than enough for a happy snapper like me

 

Stu - it has a different Lens. The 750 is usually about 50quid dearer than the 700. It also has a couple of extra tricks in the software - but i cant remember what they are. I havent done any back to back testing yet of 700 and 750, but on paper the 750 is superior. I will say that it's the lens that counts on a camera, far more than the pixel count. Unless ur blowing it up, or printing over A4, onve u go over 3m pixels, it's purely a numbers gain.

If i had to buy a canon myslef, it would be the ixus 50. It's smaller than the 700/750 and 5 mega pixels is easily enough for me.

 

Just got this one myself
