Hi i am on a lookout for the best all round digital camera for around £150 max.
I want a camera that is brillient and low light shots, has a decent shutter speed, brillient outdoor shots and a view finder..
i have been looking at the samsung s850 camera from argos which is only £100 and was wondering what you guys think?:help:
Damn!!! I had my list of crap cameras all ready and waiting...you want a brilliant camera you say? What fun!Quote:

Why do you need a viewfinder? i can recommend the Fuji Finepix F20/30 if you can live without a viewfinder.
These two are your best bets.

F30 has more features.
viewfinder uses less if not no battery power at all :) but thanks for the suggested camera's
You can get close to 500 shots on the f30 on one battery charge.
i noticed that the f30 doesnt have sd slot but the f40 does. what are the main differences between the two besides the larger MP and sd slot on the f40?
dpreview outline some of the differences

I am thinking of getting a fairly cheap decent camera as well. I was looking into Canon Powershot A550/A560. They have a viewfinder and use AA batteries instead of an internal one. Also uses SD cards as well. There's currently an A550 for sale in the "For Sale" forum here for £80 which is why I started looking into them.
How about something second hand? You can pick up a Canon G5 pretty cheap if you hit it at the right time....my wife's got one, and it's a solid little piece of kit (although not that little compared to some of the micros out there)
You get really nice colour from fuji, I wouldnt worry about battery life either.
I have a TZ3 from panasonic and although the 10x zoom is nice the photos just dont look as nice
as my parents Fuji F10.
Aye, second-hand is probably the way to go. Everyone pays through the roof because they want the maximum number of megapixels (these days, just as much of a myth as megahertz when it comes to quality), when in fact a decent quality second-hand camera can be better still.
Canon are the way to go, IMO. Big fan myself :) I've never seen them do less than average quality.
if you are considering the fuli f30, i would spend a wee bit more and get the Fuji F31fd
i got my eyes set on th e f40 though has its a higher MP and has a sd slot
There's another review of the F40 here, if you're still considering your purchase:
