maddog Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I'm looking to buy my first Digital Camera (yes, I know, but it took me years to catch onto CDs and DVDs too). Can anyone give any advice on brand / considerations? I don't want to spend too much - under £100 if possible (have been told you can still get decent cameras and pics for that price). Cheers!

OAFC_PROUD Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Ooh, good site. Cheers, Rummy. I'm currently trawling through amazon adding cameras to my wishlist, and was wondering how I would narrow it down....I have about 30 in there with good price, good reviews and good MPs, etc. http://www.cameraworld.co.uk/digital_cameras.asp Try this site, a good selection. Try to ignore the need for a higher pixel camera, you wont need it. Yes its true the higher the mega pixal the better quality of picture, but you wont be able to tell the difference between a 3, 5 or 10 megapixal camera. The Fuji A500 is a very good buy, 80 squid you get a memory card and case, bargain. I bought this camera for the wife for xmas and she loves it. You need a camera with ease of use, some can be a mindfield of technology, but there is a wide choice. A few things to look out for, make sure the camera has a view finder( the thing you look through) This saves on batteries, if you only have the lcd screen to view a photo through your batteries wont last very long. Also note the cameras at this price seem to be small ( maybe just a bit bigger than a mobile phone) so they can be quite fiddly. Anyway happy hunting, I remember my first digi camera at around 100 squid, it wasnt long till I upgraded to a better one at about 150 squid, now im on a digital SLR at 600 quid plus new lenses at 200 quid a throw so can become a very expensive hobby. I only love pictures ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But being a mong, I bought the wrong memory card to go in it, so it will only save 15 pics. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh! Masses of difference. I have a 3.1 megapixel, (ages old) but have also used a 10 megapixel for landscape piccies. What a difference!! Although. maddog won't need quite that resolution for taking pics of drunk up latics fans on the Beardybus. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I did mean to say was for an average piccy it doesnt matter what pixel it is, unless you take pictures for a profession like say Shaun from the club who takes them for the progame and the club website, now there is where you need a high pixel camera.
