Need a camera as mine has packed up.  doh.gif   2.62K   1 downloads

It has to take video for in car footage on track days.
It needs to takes stills for fleabay etc
And stills for posting on here..
It needs to have a mounting point for tripod.
And it needs to be cheap. (100 to 150 quid tops)

Any suggestions ?  scratch_head.gif   209bytes   1 downloads

i bought a fuji s5700 for my daughter for xmas, it takes great videos and pics and only cost £110 from amazon !!!!

Yep - Check out the Fuji Finepix range...

S6500 - £149.99

S5800 - £124.98 (i think)


If you go here - That's the FUJI range and you can compare lots of them. (I've selected £150-£200 ... because you can probably find the ones in that bracket for sub £150, anyway)


Also, check out some Panasonics. I had an FZ-30 for years and loved the thing!

There's the FZ8, which i think is the new one. That's £154.99


Or... if you were after something more compact, I'd look at the Canon IXUS range

Little bit more pricey though - but the Canon IXUS 850 - £179.99



Hope this helps

We got a Fuji e900 a year ago, and cannot fault it.

Much cheaper now too.

The Panasonic FZ8 as Bean mentioned is a great all round camera which will do most things a DSLR would do and for half the price, I brought mine around 3months ago and has been great

Go to Ebay and get yourself a Sony camcorder hi8 mini Dv. I've got one i bought for £100, with tapes, batteries and tripod. Takes great film and stills. Compacked and robust enough for trackdays.

i have a samsung s730. little bulkey but does very nice pics and decent video footage, although i need to set it in a format that works on the net lol

Theres one in Aldi as a special. Its always good buying stuff from there, always has loads of warranty an if you take it back, they give you a refund straight away. The stuff they sell is always good and cheap too! Heres the link for it: Camera

May be worth looking at?!

I use a Canon Digital Ixus. You can get the 70 in your price range.

I love it. I spent a long time reading reviews and specs etc. before deciding on an Ixus.

Small, very easy to use, has various useful functions, and Optical zoom - which was one of the deciding factors. The other deciding factor for me was the size - it is quite light and small for the features you get.

Well, I like it, don't care what no one else says.

had a couple of Cannon Ixus camers in the past, as has a few of my mates. Fantastic all round camera. One of the better ones for the money

I have a Sony Cybershot T20. Cost me £230 but that was last May so it should be within your price range now. 8.1 Megapixels, very good close-up shots, not bad zoom (3x optical I think)

I took these on it this week, they're on the 5 Megapixel setting too..

This one is on FULL optical zoom:


Really good at capturing light (full zoom again):




The video&audio recording mode is excellent, really good quality for a compact camera!

There's a couple on eBay for under £150 including postage.

I've got this Sony Cybershot W55 and can't fault it
