    Budget Digital Camera

    I'm looking to pick up a digital camera for a short fishing trip and I haven't a clue where to start.
    Don't really want to dorp anything over £60 on one so just wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

    The two so far I've come across are:
    Fuji Finepix AV150
    Samsung ES75

    Casio Exilim Ultra Compact? Tbh, I don't think there's much to choose between cameras in the price range. You could post in the photo section of Hexus?

    Probably would of been a better place for the thread, ho hum.
    Anyhoo, just ordered the Samsung ES75, a refurb with 12 month warranty for £50 posted. Will post my opinion on it when received for anyone interested.

    Moved, just in case it still matters.

    Doesn't look like a bad deal. It's the type of thing I'd have suggested, provided you had the time. Either a manufacturer refurb or a carefully chosen second-hand older model of a good quality camera, if you're prepared to take a bit of a chance.

    Cheers for that

    Had the camera since yesterday, I'm still waiting for the memory card to arrive from Play before I can test it out, it only takes one picture at full resolution on the internal memory!
