Off to buy camera - but which one

[maranellouk]

Nipping across the road to the Waikiki DFS to see if they have anything.

Has to be:

1. Very light
2. Great pic quality
3. errrr, nice design

Make, model and rough prices much appreciated.

What's your budget?

[Corin Denton]

Canon S500 every time!

Canon S500 every time!

No budget.

Just after something very small and slim that takes high quality pics. A good zoom is important too.

Dabs are doing some kind of deal where if you are buying an HP digital camera they will also give you a return free flight to Europe and if you buy an accessory they give you a free return flight to the US as well. Could be the next hoover fiasco but worth checking out. Think it is www.dabs.com/uk and there's a lozenge on there somewhere.

The most popular make of camera, selling in large numbers before Christmas, is made by a company called Gatso... unfortunately they tend to go on fire in operational situations.

Classic

I just got a Canon Ixus 500. Really nice picture quality. £211 inc from Canon Outlet on ebay.

You didn't say whether you were after a film camera or a digital one ...

Sorry mate,

Absolutely, positively has to be digital. I travel alot and I always forget to bring one of my cameras with me.

I am looking out on to Waikiki beach and the Pacific ocean from the apartment terrace and there's not a camera in sight! Mates are demending pics of the things (totty) I can see from here so I need to buy something right now!

I think you should post these 'wildlife' and 'scenery' shots in here mate

Re. cameras... any by the big makes should do you fine. Canon IXUSs are awesome

[simpo two]

Don't know but 'slim' and 'big zoom' might be mutually exclusive.

Sony DSC P150...

Compact, good pictures (7mp), reasonable manual control...

...besides, Mrs F is getting one too
