What recommendations would people make. Budget is about £350, wanted for general use, mainly in clubs.

Cheers

Minolta s304.

 

Hello

Fuji Finepix 6800Z (around £380) or 4800Z (around £320).

Steve.

 

Minolta S304 - NOTHING, but NOTHING even comes close

Pete

 

i'm looking for one 2 and know nowt about them...

been recommended the fuji 2800 or 4800.

also i have used olympus at work...basic ones though so was considering the 2040z ?

the above get good reviews in a digi camera buyer mag ?

wots so good about the minolta ?

 

And me :d

Can I jump on the band wgon too?

Come on Steve, move up, plenty of room for more

 

I have a Minolta S304 and I use a Canon G1.

First a camera needs a lens.....Look at most of them on digital cameras... Pin hole jobs!! Then look at these cameras,proper type lenes. Then check out the build quality. Then functions. Most new cameras are a bit cool(??) and are styled and marketed that way.
Sure some of the Fujis are good ( Look at the 6900,thats perfect)
But I find 3 million pixsis enough and a lot of buyers just want as cool looking (Pub Talk Machine!!) camera .

If I had to replace them I would not upgrade to the newer versions. These 2 cameras are very good.

Certain conditions I would say the Minolta is better. But for Functions the Canon wins.


Be Lucky


Also camera shops need to sell stock as a new range are due soon. Watch out for some great offers I bought my G1 second hand. 1 x year grnt. 2 batteries. extra 64mb ram. Card reader and PCMCIA card adaptor (all new) for £430.00. From a top dealer.

The Minolta S304 has the superb Glass GT Lens, it has a great 'feel' for my bear hands!!

I think they are available generally now for around £349 - I cannot imagine a better deal for a 3.3Million Pixel Camera.

I have just bought an Olympus C2 - 2 Million Pixel camera for my daughter - £149!!!!!!! YES, £149 with a 16Mb card!! superb value.

Well, once I have a few things cleared, I should be able to go for one of the Minolta's

Thanks Petye

 

I just bought a Creative Labs 300 webcam. It can be used as a standalone digicam too, but also records 30fps video and can be used with a PC or on its own and was 90 quid.

They do a 600 that is more money and has more functions too.
