View Full Version : point and shoot? DJ2000 04 January 2007, 00:48 whats the best digital "point annd shoot" camera to get ? just for general still photos,for printing no more than a4 size max. Thanks:wonder: John@TunerUK 04 January 2007, 00:51 Perhaps suggest a budget, because the whole 'P&S' genre covers quite a price range:) DJ2000 04 January 2007, 00:54 around £250:thumb: joni 04 January 2007, 09:32 I just got a Canon Powershot 710IS online from Jessops. They are selling them down from around £350 to £199. Use your nectar card or do a search for Jessops promo codes and a further 10% is possible. 7mp, Image stability, 6x optical zoom and full manual operation if required. I bought it as a practical alternative to a 30D and so far it's impressive. AndyC_772 04 January 2007, 10:18 I'm very pleased with my Canon IXUS 800IS, which you can now pick up from Amazon for £200. You might be able to get slightly better image quality elsewhere (look for the physically biggest sensor you can find, not the number of pixels on it), but for portability and ease of use I think you'd struggle to do much better. swiss scooby 04 January 2007, 10:49 You should have a look at the Canon A640 (10 MP) & A630 (8 MP). These cameras have some very useful features like: manual mode, flip & twist lcd, AA-batteries (if you are in the field and the camera is short on batterylife, you can buy batteries anywhere to keep on shooting), still pretty good ISO at such high Pixel count. Canon PowerShot A640 Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canonA640/) I bought my dad the A630 (8 MP version) for christmas and he seems pretty happy so far. :) Just make sure to ge a bigger SD-Card with it. STi-Frenchie 04 January 2007, 11:34 Very happy with my Canon Powershot G7 which is available from Amazon for £312.. it's built like a tank (important for the stick I'll be giving it), Av, Tv, full manual etc. Downsides? No flip and twist LCD. red-eye problems and no RAW but otherwise *plenty* of bang for the buck, great handling, a viewfinder(!), grid display for those rule-of-thirds moments, and loads of other neat features. STi-Frenchie 04 January 2007, 11:45 Did I also mention it's great fun at parties? :) My nephew as shot by my son: http://www.alwyngreer.com/temp/johnny.jpg DJ2000 08 January 2007, 21:59 got the a710 is from jessops ,nice one guys |
