THE definitive resources for camera reviews

yeah, that site is very good indeed.
We got the [url=http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/optios5i.html]Pentax/optio s51[p/url]

- Its very small and pocketable, very fast startup, short between picture time, and make a great camara. worth geting the "deluxe" pack, which has the wrap around leather case.

i find sony cameras to be good quality, also take lovely pictures. Memory stick pro can be pricey though.....

yes they are. and you can get cheap memory sticks on ebay. I got a gig for around £60 from a guy called buzzlghtyrby over in the US, he's got loads of memory card-types on offer, CF, SD microdrives...loads!
I got mine in 5 days. bargain!

I dont go out for holidays... I'm just working OT this weekend and have a spar $200 bucks to blow... My camera is junk so I figured why not buy a new one...

Edit: Also I dont curently have any hobies, I feel depressed and miserable so it's time for a new toy! I will try to make photography a hoby of mine if I am good at it Perhaps it will inspir eme to get off my but and do something!

the Z2 has just been updated...i think its either the Z3 or Z5 now. take a look at dpreview.com

Go out a try the things first. Sometimes you notice something that gets on your tits.

im looking as the

fujifilm F10, http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/spec...finepixf10.asp

panasonic LZ2, http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/spec...nic_dmclz2.asp

canon ixus SD500 (digital 700 (aka digital 600 in japan) http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/spec...anon_sd500.asp

theres also the sony DSC T7 but thats a bit pricey.

the Z3 has an image stabalizer and the Z5 takes crapy pics

[Kumagoro]

That was supposed to be LZ2 sorry.

Yea, the lumina or something like that... I have read there reviews and looked at a few sample images. Very nice cameras I just cant aford it

right o. why does z5 come up crappy? its essentially the next step up from z3
Z2 has no IS, which you'd really want at the longer focal lengths.

[Kumagoro]

I like that panasonic LZ2 because it has the 6x zoom in such a small size. The only complaint i saw on dpreview is that it turns the lcd off while the flash is charging i dont know how annoying that really is. It takes nimh batteries which i like. a pity it doesnt have iso 800 and a 640 by 480 video. I expect in september that most will have 6x zoom.(lots of next gen digi cams get released in japan in september)

What sort or model of digital camera would you guys suggest that costs between £100 - £150. I want to get my mum a new one for her birthday. So far I’ve been looking at the HP PhotoSmart R707 which I have found for £140 on Currys.

I recommend the Nikon Coolpix 5600 NIKON Coolpix Nikon Coolpix 5600

There is also the 5200 but the price difference is only £7

I've got the 5900 which arrived yesterday and its fantastic.

All the reviews I read said the Z5 has more noise and fringe... The Z3 has Image stabalizer as well but would of cost me $45 more
