Any recommendations ??

[Mark Stanton]

Can anyone suggest or recommend a reasonable quality, "well priced" digital stills camera            

There's bl**** hundreds of em and I don't know which way to turn            

What do you use      

Thanks, I wanna get one before Curborough.

I've just ordered a Sony DSC-P52 from work, £150!

I've currently got a Kodak DX3700 which I'll be selling on Ebay when I get my Sony

Mark,

If you go to www.dpreview.com they have in depth reviews of all current digital cameras. They don't make recommendations and all advice is fairly impartial and it is very helpful for narrowing down the selection once you have a couple of cameras in mind.

So much depends on what you mean by 'well priced' but my current favourite is the Minolta Dimage 7 ( 5.2 megapixels ). This looks like and handles like an SLR and takes fabulous pictures. They cost around £700.00

Dropping down to around £200.00 is about as low as you want to go IMHO and the Fuji Finepix 2600 Zoom ( 2 megapixels ) is in this band and is like a standard 'compact' camera.

Both the above give good results, the Fuji being a 'snapshot' camera and the Minolta being semi-pro.

Am here am here!!        

How about a nice Nikon D100 - 6mp Digital SLR, rather good too!!! Price - think they are down about £1300 ish now!

For a consumer camera then Nikon, Canon and Fuji are the makes you should consider as they are that little bit better in the quality stakes!

Cheers

Slow down there - I ain't won the lottery yet    

Was thinking of around £450 (or less   )

Canon PowerShot S40, 4 megapix, software and stuff, should fit into your budget. I've got one and thinks it's the dogs doodahs.

Mark,

Got a fuji finepix6800. now called the f601 £350 from C$catgroup_id_parent=4388&categoryId=4388" target="_blank">Argos at the moment (just so you can have a look at it). Good little camera. If you can wait till the 22nd I'll let you play with mine

I Have a Fuji Finepix 6800 too Mark.   Look for a camera with an industry standard memory card - you can buy extra cards dirt cheap from Jessops et al that way.

If you want me to bring it to Curborough for you to have a play with, be my guest.   (we're talking camera here before anyone suggests otherwise    )

Yep, i too have a fuji 601 zoom. I got it about 4 months ago and it takes ace pics. One of the things that i looked for when looking was a built in battery cos these things use normal ones real quick. It has 6m pixals, video, sound recording and comes with its own cradle which you leave plugged into your computer to download pics and charge it. It can also be used as a web cam

Nikon make the best SLRs (non-digital) if that sways you    

For cameras go to Nomatica or Askdirect

I'm sure people on here know more than thos suppliers though.
