Digital Camera

[Disturbedguy]

Hey all

Am looking to buy a new digital camera as am going to a concert reasonably soon and as ive wanted to see the band for so long i decided ill take lots of pictures.

Only thing is, am a complete noob when it comes to cameras, im looking for decent picture quality and a decent zoom aswell.

Currys - Shop for Digital Camera - Casio EX-Z77 Digital Camera

what do people think of the above?

Concert = dark

So you will want one with good low light shooting. The Fuji line is your best bet from what I've heard. I don't know the model numbers of the current favourites, but i'm sure someone else will pitch in.

3x optical zoom is standard, ignore digital zoom, forget it even exists

well i actually work in currys, and i have seen a couple of that model come back to my store with faults.
whats your price range to start with? because there is the cannon power shot which is actually amazing!
i would send you a link but i dont know how.lol

check it out on their website.

thanks funkstar i await replies

budget no more then say 150...

gutted cus thats a propper good camera for £200. i would say not to get an olympus as they seem to have quite alot of "noise" within a dark picture. the samsung S1080 on the other hand is a crackin little camera. my brother has one and its video, sound and picture quality are all really good to be fair considerin the price range and it also takes AA batteries which would be useful if you are takin it to a gig cus if the batteries run out u can always have another set to hand.

cheers kris will look at that camera..

kris any idea what the optical zoom of that camera is? cant seem to see it on the details..

[Kris.P]

its only a 3x optical and dont even take any notice about digital zoom cus it is rubbish.

[Disturbedguy]

[Kris.P]

[Kris.P]
