digital cameras

[arc]

Hello!

Ive decieded i need my own digital camera, had a nice tax rebate so thats going on it. I can afford to spend around 100-150 - any suggestions?

edit: im ordering some stuff off ebuyer.com, so if any of them on there are worth getting that'd be a good idea to save on postage

ta!

ta, aleady poking round ebuyer. but i know nothing about cameras, so i dont know what to avoid.

rechargable batteries would be handy tho..

the best is to go for one that is at least 3 million mega pixel as this will handle all the regular pictures most people take and also the pictures once uploaded will not be stupidly big file sizes. I bought a 5 million mega pixel kodak camera from comet i think, for £200 dont have any complaints about it but being a 5 million pixel camera the file sizes are a lot bigger and the camera needs a bigger memorey card to hold more pictures. You can easily pick up a 3 million pixel camera for the money you got Good luck!

Arc, a new battery recharger and some 2000mAH quality (i.e. Uniross) batteries are less than £15 on ebay so don't let it sway you too much.

As Bob said, 3MP minimum and obviously one with extendable memory (95% of cams nowadays and probably 100% in your price range). Type of memory is important too, I have MMC which is great as 1) Laptop has internal SD/MMC reader and two other of my devices use them so can mix and match.

Yes Dave, I always look at people with that cam and think "What a girl!" lol How you do think it's a girl's cam?!

Amazon have a deal for £150 on their front page, front page deals on amazon are usually fairly good, didn't read it though.-

Also some Camera's may take SD and MMC although you can only record movies onto the SD cards not the MMC, but obviously pictures work fine on both!

Mega pixels has no bearing on file size, resolution is selectable on most so 640x480 is small but ok. Best to get plently of memory and more than one set of batteries incase your out and they run out.
