[xStric9x]

Liz has several to photograph Midge and one for the rest of the world. My fav is a casio, its high on mega pixels, has a big viewing screen and is easy to use. Has a pretty useful zoom to. Its lightweight and carries easily. Should be about the price.

Take it that its for snaps rather than anything more professional.

 

Dont think Bex needs a better camera.

Our camera is only 3.2 mpixels, so when we come to blow things up you kind of lose the quality

I use http://www.warehouseexpress.com/ and good service and normally one of the cheapest unless you go for grey imports.

been looking at these myself, the zoom is fantastic for a compact camera most only go up to 114mm but this one does 280mm .

 

got a casio z1000 (10 mega pixel) at present, can't really fault it but sometimes a little more zoom comes in handy

 

have used this site quite a few times, might come in useful -

Bit late spotting this thread but I went through this quite recently and after seeking advice from people with far more knowledge than me ( ok, thats most people on the planet ) I ended up with a Sony DSC-W50 and it's brilliant. I bought a big memory card so it never fills up and I'm a very happy chappy. Highly recommended.

Got a Sony DSC-W50 too, great little camara as long as you don't need to get too technical. My one moan is the mode button, too easily rotated, sometimes find myself taking pics in the wrong mode, annoying

Yeah I know what you mean, I'm always checking the mode switch because it tends to move just getting it out of the case....
