Advice / Recommendation

[boysey]

Baby on the way in a couple of weeks so time for a new camera ....

Looking for any recommendations, want something simple to use, capable of some video, mainly for the baby!! Budget £200-£300 ...

Cheers

For new-born babies, there's nothing better than a simple, fast 50mm f1.4 (or f1.8) lens. But I guess you are not looking for a DSLR, so I'm not sure what to recommend. But do get a camera with large aperture and good high ISO performance as I'm not comfortable using a flash on a new-born baby.

Many congrats, btw!

I have a Fuji Finepix s9600...

Which is a bridge camera, so ideal for you really.

Its ISO 80 - 1600 and F2.8 to F11 and extremley quick shutter. Brilliant bit of kit which can be had for £226.99 with free P&P from PC World
