Grundy Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Other than selfies, why must the screen be on the front!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjt Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 If budget allows try to get one with a CMOS sensor rather than CCD, as you will get a higher quality of picture (that Samsung is a CCD by the way). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Got to love a selfie! Whats wrong with a camera phone? Unless you have an iGay, the cameras on phones are pretty good these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, rather waste my money on cars, I've probably had less than 60 alcoholic beverages in my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydbax Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 My personal view is as the others, for most pix these days the camera on your mobile phone is adequate for the job, especially if you have a smart phone - which lets face it most of us have. I'd be looking for something that does a job over and above what the phone cam is capable of. I had similar to one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fujifilm-FinePix-S2950-Digital-Camera/dp/B004G8Q600/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1400669361&sr=1-8&keywords=bridge+camera which is an awesome thing, especially for that kind of money. - And, it IS pretty much point and shoot, I am fond of my pix but by no means a photographer but this turned out great pix no problem. I upgraded to the 'Nikon' top of their range bridge camera and was sadly disappointed because for all that extra money I was actually getting less quality pix!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 For £100 this ain't bad either, got an earlier model for the missus and it's perfectly sized for any handbag, even fits in a clutch bag (no bolts required ) http://www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/1848931/Trail/searchtext%3ECANON+IXUS.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 my advice would be stick with brands that are known for making just cameras and imaging devices, rather than big electronics brands... so Canon, Nikon, Kodak and so on. My GF bought a Kodak a while back and its still shooting awesome photos, way better than the camera on my 1 year old Sony Xperia smartphone. Its all about getting light into the camera, a smartphone just cant cut it cost its got such a tiny lens, you'll have no chance in anything other than perfect light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, maybe because I'm rubbish at photography etc, but the camera on my xperia Z1 is amazing, way more impressive than I need, I've also got the fancy wireless lens attachment and that just blows my mind with how good it is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
