Our Kodak digial camera died and I cant afford the digital SLR that I really want so... what's good in the point-and-click digital camera world?

 

[tripoli]

The Sony W Range is quite good. I use a DSC W1 which has since been replaced by the W5 I think. 5.1 MegaPixel with 3x Optical Zoom and a Carl Zeiss lens.

Not too small, nice machine to hold, takes nice pics too.

The second one.

And the moveable viewfinder seems a bit gimmicky, but it's actually dead useful, especially if you're taking pictures at gigs or at weird angles.

 

[potlatch]

The moveable viewfinder definitely comes in handy sometimes. Like at gigs.

 

[Anthony]

wow

same camera from one of the above sites €399
in a shop i just called: €699

holy shit!!!!! rip off ireland wah?

 

[potlatch]

More like rip off Europe. I got mine for the equivalent of €260 in Americayay.

Amazon isn't bad for cameras either:

(Canon A95 for under 200 Sterling)

Actually just bought a Canon Ixus 50 today was €350 including VAT and express delivery. I phoned around first before buying online and all the shops quoted €450.

Only one shop was interested in offering me a better deal than €450 - they would throw in a leather case 'worth €49' for free - it's €15 online!

I was truly amazed at the attitude of the shops - they didn't give a shit about losing a €350+ deal. I made it clear to all of them that I was interested in compromising on the price and not expecting to pay as little as €350 for the camera over the counter... I think we need some more competition...

 

[Anthony]

yea i reckon I'll buy online. fuck this.
