Question

I think I've narrowed my choice down to either the Kodak DC3200 or the Fuji finepix 1300. I'm not sure about the internal storage and how many photos they can store - I know it depends on the resolution but I'm looking to get a camera that I can take on hols to eurodisney and not have to worry too much about storage and downloading - what size of memory card should I get ?.Technoworld seem to do the best deals - £20-30 cheaper than Jessops.

Thumbs up

I'd suggest at least a 32MB or 48MB card.

Divide the cost of the card by the capacity and you can find the sweet spot in terms of £/MB. For instance, when I brought my 48MB card, the jump up to 64MB was daft money.

I've got a Fuji Finepix 4700 so am familiar with the Fuji's.

Comparing the two in the Jessops catalogue, I would say the Fuji is worth the extra £50 or so, has more memory and a USB download (assuming your PC has a USB port) which will be a quicker download.

Cool

We bought a Fuji Finepix 40i with all the gubbins (except AC adapter) and a 16MB card for £399 from Currys. Sorry didn't check your budget.

Weighs 7oz, fits in your shorts pocket, or on your belt in the supplied carry case.

At 640 "snaps" mode holds approx 110-120 frames I believe. We came home with 60 odd on. Can do 4.4 mega pixcels using Fuji super ccd interpolation.

It doubles as an MP3 player so an additional card might be useful for "phat choons".

Oh yes, it also takes 80 seconds of avi format video with sound, regardless how big the memory card is strangely.

Can't recommend it highly enough.
