Digital Camera range £150-£170

[Max Tractor]

Hello

You will have to bear with me as my camera knowledge is pretty limited, my budget is £150/170, have been looking at the

Pentax Optio S6 6.0 Megapixel 3X Optical Zoom

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...uct_uid=109964

and the Olympus Mju 700 7.1 MP Camera Silver 3X Optical Zoom

http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/106023

Any help would be great

Thanx in advance

Fuji Finepix F10, or even F11 if you can stretch your budget.

Both are brilliant cameras, and both get brilliant reviews on all major digital camera review websites.

I've moved this to the creative forum

I've seen the F11 available for around £165

Avoid the Olympus Mju series like the plague, I've never seen a good one.

I echo the above about the F10/11 though, they're great cameras.

my mum's got a mju...does pretty well for her

My mum had 2 and hated both, horses for courses I guess

Different models. One was a cheapie (MJU mini) and the other was a somewhat higher end one, that's the one that went back and got swapped for the F10. She still equates Olympus with her Olympus Trip 35 (fabulous camera) so has (had) a big bias towards them.

thanks for the move and suggestions
