http://www.pixmania.com/uk/uk/31652/...0.html?srcid=3 We got one a while back and payed about £230 for it, but well worth the dosh. Takes nice pics (videos too) and has an auto mode for the less technical. [edit] though you might want to look around for one with an english manual[/edit] |

The Fuji FinePix S5000 seems to be a good all-rounder and uses the SLR form factor (which is preferable, imho). Pixmania used to do them cheaper than other places, but I'm not sure if they still stock them. Amazon are doing them for around £200. It's on my 'things to buy, but keep forgetting about' list since I had a go on one in a camera shop a while back. It seemed to offer the level of quality I was looking for in my first (semi-serious) digital camera. |

The Canon A70 always got good reviews when I was looking a while back. You should be able to pick one up for under £200 these days. That's fuckin' ingenious, if I understand it correctly. It's a Swiss fuckin' watch.

I agree on the Canon. I've a one and I love it, plus they're easy to use. The easiest to use is Kodak, I think. (damn nice b-day present, btw) Now adding "eh?" to the end of my sentences.

Nikon CoolPix Series (eg 3100) is best bet for cost sensitive entry level users Even some Kodak models are ok..But no idea of exact model nos.. |
