Anyone on here know much about compact digital cameras? Looking at getting one for the gf for her birthday. She has a Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd or similar at moment and looking at getting her a better one Dont really know much about them, budget is about €200, found these: http://www.cameracentre.ie/products/ixus-115-hs-kit or http://www.cameracentre.ie/products/ixus-220-hs-kit (at a push on funds) Anyone any advice on the topic, not necessarily on these two above
Could recommend this Sony http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DSCW35...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1310563135&sr=8-1 Better resolution than the 2 Ixus you linked and cheaper too even with the exchange rate and shipping.
Have a look at the camera's on amazon.co.uk - you'll get good value there. Panasonic Lumix cameras come in similar size and spec and should be on there. Also free shipping once order goes over 25ukp. Panasonic Lumix with 8 times optical zoom and 16megapixels here and a lot cheaper than the two you listed - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-L...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1310563553&sr=1-3
Thanks lads Anything I should defo be looking for, so many on Amazon to compare. Looking for good brand name, quality pictures/ videos etc. Step up from the Fujifilm she already has (Z10fd) May go into camera centre for advice too
Got the misses an IXUS for birthday last year. Think it was the 210 but not quite sure. Quality camera, takes a really good photo.
Have a look at reviews on Amazon. Generally at the price point you're looking at you won't go too far astray with a brandname like Fuji, Nikon,Canon, Panasonic, Sony etc. For a lady you probably want something purse friendnly so go compact size. Megapixels at this stage is grand on them all, ie an 8mp Canon would still be a better buy than some trash brand 12mp. Optical zoom is important - ignore digital zoom figures as this just artificially blows up the picture and it will be more grainy.
Buying a digital camera tomorrow, only planning on spending €150. Anyone bought any cameras recently they could recommend or anyone have this one I'm thinking of getting? http://www.harveynorman.ie/canon-ixus-107-aqua.html
Had a look and Harvey Norman have that for the same price as the Canon one I was looking at. Only reason I was going for Canon was a few people have told me the images on a Canon camera are super sharp. I don't know, the sony one you have obviously takes a great pic aswell?
Lads I looked at some of the links for the cameras ye are thinkin of buying there. What did ye pick them out based on? Just wondering! Because they look like terrible value to me! I wouldn't be an expert or anything, but I reckon the 3 most important things for a camera around this price are, make, megapixels, and optical zoom, in no particular order. Just did a quick search there and found this one on Argos, 14MP and 10x optical zoom for €120. http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/5594384.htm?mvt=HP1_main3b Or this one: 12 MP and 18x optical zoom for €185 in black or silver http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/...14419441|Compact+digital+cameras|14419442.htm
if you are looking to buy a 2nd hand one, i have a good one, in great condition, no damage, 8.0MP with a 1gb Memory card. It is the one n the link below only its black. http://www.trustedreviews.com/Olympus-FE-340_Digital-Camera_review
