    Which Digital Camera for £200

    Just got a little bit of money left over from my birthday money and im after a Digital Camera, this looked like the best place to ask

    What's the best camera i can get for £200 (Thats £200 in-store price) ? I dont mind if its one of the bigger camera's (SLR's?) or a compact one. But id like it to be SD, it can be MMC but id prefer SD as my laptop has the card reader bit for that

    Cheers guys and gals,

    Craig

    Well, i went down to town today and had a nice look around ALL of the shops, untill i ended up at Jacobs, nowhere done the Canon A80! I decided to spend a little bit less on a camera and get some rechargable batterys and a 128mb SD card, in the end i got a Konica Minolta DiMAGE X31, its a 3.2mp camera (not the best in the world i know) and for £150 im very pleased with it, a sample pic taken with it; http://gallery.beebeecee.co.uk/displ...?album=3&pos=0

    I'd probably say the Canon A80 (I spend too much time on OcUK ) or the Minolta Dimage Z1.

    A little more and I'd say the S602 or Panny FZ10.

    There is only one. The optio s4 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=61298

    Afaik theres nothing that can match this beauty for £200. I would take some pictures of it but then i would need a second s4 to do it any justice
