Title: Digital Camera Post by: Piemonte on Tuesday, April 10, 2007, 14:02:59 I'm looking to get the Mrs a digital Camera for her birthday in about about a months time.
Does anybody in the know have any recommendations for me? I know fuck all about cameras. Only criteria are: - Under £200 - Small - Looks cool Any help greatly appreciated Title: Digital Camera Post by: The_Plagiarist on Tuesday, April 10, 2007, 14:10:41 you can get a mint sony cybershot in jessops at the moment for 129 (usually 229) its small and has 7.2 megapixels, don't know if it looks cool though, its a little silver box eh!
Title: Digital Camera Post by: mattboyslim on Tuesday, April 10, 2007, 14:14:19 Although personally my camera is a big 10x optical zoom thing, it is an Olympus and my expereinces of it have been spot on, really good quality shots, and fantasic battery life on AA batteries. I find it much easier to navigate then the Sony cameras I've played with. For purchasing I used a link to a company from Amazon and at the time saved in excess od £100 on rrp. What Camera? magazine was very useful - review every camera on the market. For £200, a little zoom and easily 10mp should be accessible - just take your pick from the best reviewed models IMHO.
Title: Digital Camera Post by: Lash_sumthin on Tuesday, April 10, 2007, 14:26:59 had a good mess about with a sony cybershot over the weekend, the bird got some crackin pics out of it. Though the small supplied memory was disappointing, presumably for that money u can get alot more some 5months on anyway
Title: Digital Camera Post by: mattboyslim on Tuesday, April 10, 2007, 14:29:07 Memory wise I know Sony are the most expensive for the memory stick (they were a year ago) - but since the PSP became popular I think they've fallen. My XD card - not that expensive, holds over 900 pics on a 1gb card at 6mp.
Title: Digital Camera Post by: Lash_sumthin on Tuesday, April 10, 2007, 14:35:53 yeah the official branded stuff is a rip off though 7dayshop.com do resonably priced memory for most models :wink:
Title: Digital Camera Post by: Bushey Boy on Tuesday, April 10, 2007, 14:48:16 Sony Exilim, 7.2million pixals, with memory for 250 pics, its black and slim (like strood) and was bout £140.00 from asda, seriously this is a mint camera
Title: Digital Camera Post by: Batch on Tuesday, April 10, 2007, 15:22:56 Fujifilm FinePix F31fd is supposed to be good and comes in at around £160. Not sure of the dimensions but fairly small I think.

Probably shit by todays standards but I have had it for quite a few years and serves its purpose.
Title: Digital Camera Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, April 10, 2007, 16:15:47 I've been thinking of picking up a digital camera. Aceness.
Title: Digital Camera Post by: Arriba on Tuesday, April 10, 2007, 16:28:22 i have a hitachi.6m mega pix with rechargable battery and takes a sd card which are cheap as chips on amazon.
got it from argos and it does the job well Title: Digital Camera Post by: sonic youth on Tuesday, April 10, 2007, 17:08:18 I've had three Sony Cybershots and all have been sound, the one I have currently is superb. I don't think you can really go wrong with any name brand compact digital, shop around for the best deal and any extras.
If you're after an ultra slim one - i.e. something which will comfortably fit in your pocket - then you'll probably have to sacrifice picture quality slightly. My first purchase this summer, if i find a job, will be a proper digital SLR.

If and when you do, ping me a PM and I'll let you into a few secrets about DSLRs that you need to know about before parting with that hard-earned cash. (I have, or strictly speaking Mrs C has, a Canon 350D) Title: Digital Camera Post by: Phil_S on Tuesday, April 17, 2007, 09:51:17 I just picked up a panasonic with 5 mp, & 6 x optical zoom + a 1gb card for £130 online at C&A Electronics.
