Digital Camera

[PeterStoba]

Wrong section? Maybe, sorry.

Right then people, I want a decent camera for my upcoming trip to France to take pictures, aswell as taking pictures of my pc for a project log. I will also use it to take pictures of other things, altough mainly PCs.

Budget, Under £60 is ideal (I know it's not going to be the quality you guys and your thousands of pounds worth of SLRs :crying

I found this, http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149949 or this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150386

Any good, specs seem good enough so, can't go wrong. Second hand is also an option, but I don't see many people selling cameras.

Any help appreciated obviously.

Peter.

Don't know if you can stretch your budget by £20 - but this looks like a cracking deal at £79 for the Pentax Optio S12:

[PeterStoba]

I ordered one half an hour ago using free delivery, will post some stuff when it arrives, thanks again!

Thanks guys, I've been looking for a cheap-ish camera as well and that looks too good to turn down.

Well, it arrived just now, it's tiny! Got a £40 wine voucher too, anybody want it?

First impressions are great, small feels solid, got all the neccesary stuff, just need a memory card, not too much of a problem atm

[Lanky123]

Mine arrived too, for a memory card I just bought this with the camera:

Just wondering, have you found any cases for it at reasonable prices? This looks very reasonable but as it's for the S5Z I'm not 100% confident it'll fit. TR put the S12 at 87x54x21mm, the S5Z at 83x55x21.5mm, and the amazon review says the case is very snug with the S5Z.

[PeterStoba]

Well, not looke for a case, but the one you said shows the s12 as a bundle item, get it, if it doesnt fit blame amazon, or ask them
