Canon Ixus 70 or 75 are great quality little cameras I have had my old Ixus IIs for years and and its pretty indestructible.

Totally agree have always bought Canon Ixus (or Ixy if bought in the Far East), the better half swears by them for the simplicity and quality. You'll get a good deal on one of the older models (6-12 months).

I have generally been a Sony Camera man but i am now a Panasonic convert since going over to the Panasonic DMC-FZ50.
If you can afford to buy Banksy prints the least you can do is spend a few extra quid and get and get a camera that is more than half decent!
All the best in whatever you select but if you go for a compact get one with as many magapixels as poss.

Digital camera, by craigf on Dec 31, 2007 23:25:01 GMT 1, Don't get too hung up re the number of pixels, it doesn't always translate to a better picture. Size of the apeture, quality of the lens and the software make a big difference.
I have always had Sony digi camera's (currently have a T7, a few years old now, but small, sexy and works well plus a Alpha SLR, the dogs this side of spending serious molla). Samsung are now very competitivly priced, Canon and Panasonic also tend to do well

Digital camera, by corndoll on Jan 1, 2008 2:14:47 GMT 1, I have the Canon SD1000 from USA which is the same as the UK Ixus 70. It takes great photos but is also a solid camera. Its really small which means I carry it everywhere with me to capture spontaneous moments, which in my opinion is the point of a point and shoot camera, you have SLR's for taking quality pictures. But the best thing is that anyone can easily use it, whether its a stranger in the street at a tourist attraction or your drunken friend at a party and everyone comments on what a great camera it is. They are only $200 at the moment so I would recommend this although it was released in March 2007 so there may be an upgraded version soon

Can't for the life of me remember which store i saw this camera for ยฃ70, given it comes with CZ glass it's a bargain.
Fuji totally eat battery power, that said I'm looking for the model which has panoramic mode at the right price!.. Also the Sony A100 is available for ยฃ350 (again my memory lets me down), see what i just did

Digital camera, by dotdot on Jan 1, 2008 13:32:58 GMT 1, if you want a little simple point an shot - get a (panasonic) lumix FX01 if you're after - something better more powerful but still pretty inexpensive , if you can find one, - canon S2IS
i own both - both are good.
cheers

LEICA LENS AND IMAGE STABILISATION WORK WELL
BONGO ADVISE THAT GOING FOR LARGEST MEGAPIX MAY NOT BE THE BEST APPROACH. MANY PEOPLE ASSUME THAT MORE MP MEAN BETTER PICTURES.
