I bought a FujiPix 2400 which I am very happy with. If you want a picture example, I took some quick pix with it from an ICE install. YOu can see them under the ICE section, to do with fitting a CD changer in the boot. I just put the camera on auto, pressed the buttom.

Camera seemed to have been rated quite well in a fair number of camera magazines. Cost was 350 for camera, case, battery+charger, extra 16Mb card (comes with 8Mb). Bought online, as it was 350 just for camera with 8MB card in shops.

Edit: Forgot to mention it downloads via I-Link through USB.

I want to buy a Digi Camera for stills, if it managed short mpegs that would be brilliant, but not necessary. Any one got any ideas on what I should be looking for and some recommendations?

Theres lot's of options both with Movie mode and without, whats your budget and what method of downloading do you prefer.

RichB

I found this site was fairly useful when I was looking...

Mr Bian

Budget would be under £500 if poss the cheaper the better within reason and all that. Not really sure on downloading method etc. I would be connecting it up to an IBM 600e Thinkpad Laptop if that helps?

Mr Bian

Sony is a good choice as I should be able to get a discount from a friend. DSC-S70 is to expensive, anyone got any thoughts on the DSC S50 or DSC-P1??

Does your laptop have a firewire connection, mst of USB but bot firewire, except for the VAio's of course, it's a point worth noting.

Mr Bian

I will only be able to conect through the usb port, not sure work will fancy shelling out for a new Sony vaio for me!!!!

Mr Bian,

the Fuji FinePix 40i shoots an interpolated 4.3MegaPixels (from a 2.4MegaPixel CCD), does video (although in AVI format) and even plays MP3 and connects via USB.

I use it for my Scooby pictures (e.g. at

Dixons in the UK ariports sell Cannon Digital Ixus for £360 including VAT.

ChrisB

I brought my Ixus about eight months ago from Dixons Gatwick. You have to be flying to get to it though.

I paid something like £420 inc VAT, when everyone else was selling them at around £500 to £599 + VAT.

I was going to go with a Nikon Coolpix 990 or the Fuji 7700. When I was at the duty-free in Heathrow a guy strolled over and raved about the Sony DSC-1 which I ended up buying. It does all the bits you're looking for plus it has a superb battery - camcorder type thing that'll run for about 2 hours with the LCD on and all. The only downside is that it uses a proprietry system of RAM - Sony's Magicstick but as I've got one of their MP3 players (ships with 64Mb)this suited me.
