Lads any tips on buying a Digital Camera in about the 150 range. Just want it for trips away. Something pretty casual and not top of the range thing. What should I look out fo rother than the amount of Mega Pixels.

Keep an eye on ibood they had one the other day for 200 normally 360ishOriginally Posted by NeilMcD
Mega pix is about it most haev a mem card that you can swap out ( 2 gb is loads) size and weight then are th enext options you dont want it bulging out of yoru pocket . Cannon do a really nice slim one in black or red .
Cheers for that I have since learnt that Optical lenses are better than digital ones and that anything around 6 is good for an optical lense.
So in brief
Small
Above 8 Mega Pixels
Above 6 x Optical Lense

For 150 lids?!?!?
I'd double your budget.
8mp also seems a bit OTT, 6 is fine for most pictures.
just to confirm ...you'll not get an 8mp camera for 150 yoyos.
Doubling the budget is still even a wee bit conservative. I'd guess closer to 400 quid. But as ORA said -you don't need 8mp.

Ibood had a 8 MP one for 170 a few weeks back
Wasn't made by Fisher-Price by any chance was it?
Not familiar with ibood. must have a gawk.

I got a Kodak 7.1MP for €159 last week. They were selling them on special offer in Currys, PC World and Dixons. I think I saw the same ad in last Sundays paper so they probably still have some more
UCD sha-la-la

Well it wasnt a canon
They have 1 product a day goes on sale at 11 pm when they are gone they are gone , can be anything from really highteck camera's, nintendo DS , sat navs to spoons .
i think that i saw a black samsung in an ad in the mirror newspaper the other day. i cannot say what shop it was but most probably dixons or currys. it was about 150 euro and was either 7 or 8 mp. i got a samsung at christmas and it is great so i would recommend samsung

try Jessops on grafton steet best range and prices in the country, tho Avoid Kodak and Samsung, go for more reputable brands like Canon, nikon, sony etc.. tho fuji are good too.

If it's just for using on "Away Trips", I would recommend looking for one with a good "anti-shake" function and able to "bounce"!
One with a passport build inside it would be handy too for the lads I go with.

From what you told us a certain member should dispense with the need for mega pixels, and seek the assistance of "8 Magic Pixies" to attempt the tricky return journey back to his room!
if you have not got one yet there is a very good one at dixons for e140. over 8 mp and in my opinion would be more than ideal for what you want it for

They have one today.

I'd like to point out that this is only an opinion.
Those of you who know me, will probably have seen me with a camera at one point or another. It's a big one, so it's hard to miss.
Given its size, it wasn't always practical to have it with me. As a result, I went in search of a Point & Shoot, that I could stick in my pocket.
The camera I settled on was the Samsung NV10.
It's an absolute gem!
10Mp, rechargable battery, which can be charged off the USB port on my laptop. Very little shutter lag. Sturdy metal body. Good quality images and smart touch menus, which I absolutely love!
Great camera, which I'd gladly recommend.
Have Boot Disk, will travel

Generally cameras are alot cheap abroad, in Spain and Italy they can sometimes be nearly half the price.
One feature on a camera thats good (if you are increasing you budget) is a view finder as the LCD flahs the battery in most cameras. And more often than not you can zoom in with a view finder too.
Make sure to get at least a gig+ card, and check out the batteries too, rechargeable batteries will wreck your head after a while.
