New camera for the fishes thoughts....

[fish]

Right new xmas present for lisa. Either a Pentax Optio 555 ( brilliant camera which i've used before althought now discontinued for the SV I think)

or Sony DSC P150 benefit being good video for the new fishlet and long battery time. Only down side is the 3x optical instead of 5x but at 7.2m pixel we could zoom in after wards.

Thoughts people.. I'm pretty set on the Sony though. I'll be getting a 1GB pro memory stick as well.

Hang on...you want to discuss your wife's Chrsitmas present...in a public forum?

Are you mad?

I think a Tiffany necklace and matching bracelet would be great, not a poxy camera. Buy that yourself, but only mention it when she takes the wrapping off and sees the sky blue box and yelps in delight.

Sensible policy for a happily married Albion, as DeR once said.

Now you've done it! Stitched Fish right up like a kipper

Anything less will be a disappointment...

Oh

[Mrs Fish]

But I want a camera, and we have discussed it already

Plus I already have diamonds, I don't need anymore In fact I find Tiffany's quite overrated

I dunno you try and do the right thing and it gets thrown back at you.

I was trying to get you a decent crimbo present there Lisa...

[Mrs Fish]

I think a camera is a decent Chrimbo pressie


I appreciate the gesture though

No worries mate.....I was fearing a festive row chez Fish...

"Do you like your new camera, dear? I got the massed ranks of PH to choose it for you"

" wheres me sparklers, monkey boy?"

What can I say, I do

James,

try www.DPreview.com
You can compare the 2 cameras you have asked about. Not sure if the link to it will work. If not select "buying guideside by side" from the menu on the left.

Also Im sure there is a new Pentax coming out which will be of the spec you like. Theres also a tasty new Canon to suit your requirements. Im sorry I cant give you the details but I left this months Photography Monthly at home.

Another good place to review cameras is the Warehouse Express website. They also have excellent prices and ALL the newest kit.

You are quite an extrordinary woman

what a catch you are Mrs Fish

[Mrs Fish]

DustyC - we have read and re read a dozen write ups on both cameras, he still can't decide though, hence the thread

[DustyC]

Oh, sorry.

Do you want my decision kings crown?

[fish]

I've bought it now.....NEW TOYS

[Mrs Fish]

Oooo, the suspense, do I have to wait till Christmas morning to find out which one?

[GregE240]

Thats the general idea, yes.
