Hello. I'm thinking about getting a new digital camera. I want something fairly small so that it can fit in my jeans pocket, preferably have a big display on the back, long battery life (my Mums camera lasts for about 10 photos then the battery goes dead), and obviously produce decent quality pictures (also good quality when taking pictures in clubs where light is scarce).
Any recommendations? Also any technical jargon I need to keep my eye out for. Is there anything else to the quality of photos other than the megapixels?
Cheers

I bought a Fujifilm finepix V10 in New Zealand 5.1 mega pixels and huge display screen on the back. Great quality photos and takes videos etc. as well. Takes XD memory cards.
Was about 400 dollars so 150 quid. Well worth it.

So if you were to take a photo of someone jumping you would get several photos of them going up in the air and down? Not that clear but I think you get my gist? I dont paticularly want jumping pics thats just an example  |

Oh i see, well there is a 1.4 second lag, so i don't expect you'd get much from someone making one jump. Perhaps you could get a spacey hopper |

Shoot at their feet like they used to do in cowboy films, you'll get some excellent pics of them jumping up and down then.
On a more sensible note, most digicams have a setting which allows you to take rapid-fire pics, either a designated number (e.g. 4/5) when you press the button or else keeps doing it for as long as you have the button down. Buggered if I can remember what the proper name for it is tho.
Jessops are your fellas - go in and ask them.

Perhaps you could get a spacey hopper The Fuji F30 has a "sport" mode Click it into that and it gives you awesome shutter speeds (make sure there is plenty of natural light though) I got a Pentax Optio A20 10 Megapixels and it is mighty fine ! |
