You will be waiting for about a week or two as she has gone up north

Stay away from it.

It takes 5MP photos, then the camera will "blow them up" as it were to 12MP, or some jazz like that.

It's a no-name camera body, and more importantly a no-name lens. The lens is one of the biggest things you should be concerned about as a good quality one will make or break your photos. Stick to the brand name SLRs.

In short: Don't buy it!

acee, thank you very much, gotta admit looks the bees knees

mutton dressed as lamb?

okay looking for a decentish camera for less than 100 pound

that one worked out bout £80

any ideas?

[Ouster]

Oh - you're looking for a point and shoot then, and not an SLR?
Second hand Sonys perform well. The best point and shoot on the market at the moment (IMO) is the Panasonic TZ3 - but that'll cost you about £120.

5 mp will get you a3 prints(at a push) and the lense seems to have a wide angle attachment(good for cars/car shows). Has a lithium battery, which means charge it up like your mobile and away you go.

quality...I have no idea, but it seems to be based on the minolta Z cams...which as they went bankrupt awhile back..could be a rebadged minolta. I cant find the optical zoom. If it has no zoom....dont get.

Whats the price more importantly?

[Elisha-The-Cooper]

well i am just basically looking for a better camera than my phone, i got k850i which is okay but doesnt pick up alot, so it really needs to take a decent photos mainly for the projects etc but i will be taking it everywhere with me but i will be using it everyday probably.


baically a multipupose camera lol

so you think this one ?



amazon selling them at 160, but used and new for 123 ish

ive got a casio exilim, which is fantastic! its 7.2 mega pixels, but hte thing i really like about it is that the photos are really instant, you dont have any time between pressing the button and the picture actually taking! its got a big screen at the back too. i dont know all that about it tho because it does what it says on the tin so i dont need to know any more!
heres a link....

Whats the price more importantly?

it was 80 delivered with extras from onvon.com

[Elisha-The-Cooper]

but hte thing i really like about it is that the photos are really instant, you dont have any time between pressing the button and the picture actually taking

isnt there a problem with the photos blurring with this feature? i hate blurry photos as i dont really have a steady hand

Well, if I was getting one, I'd get the Panasonic. It's got a wide angled lens on it and the zoom is 10x optical which blows anything else in the market out of the water - and is extremely useful. Plus it's a Leica lens.

On Ebay you can get them for about £130 new with extras such as a big memory card, tripod, case etc.

[Elisha-The-Cooper]

wide angle lense is pushing me towards your choice ouster
thats why i went for that other one

7.2mpx an average choice ?



every1 is getting more helpful

[Ouster]

7.2MP is fine for a point and shoot, you only need the pixels if you're planning on blowing up the photos to big sizes.
Once you get to that resolution, as I keep stressing, the lens is most important. You can buy a cheap no-name Chinese camera which is 8MP and the photos will be nowhere near as good as, say, a Sony 8MP or maybe even a 5MP.

[sazal]

That does look sexy! Your best looking for probably an 7 or 8mp camera? Depends how big you want to print pictures? Nikon are good cameras to look for, but are pretty pricey.
