Recommend me a camera

[DazG]

Good afternoon peeps

When it comes to cameras I fail :dapprove:

I go on holiday in two weeks to Tenerife :rasp: and would love to capture the moments with a camera.

I want something fairly compact, easy to use, no sniper rifle scopes or anything, fairly cheap, around the £100 mark if poss.

My Dad has always bought Nikon, and they do seem to be very good.

Any one recommend me something?

Thanks in advance,

Darren

I'd recommend one of three (So I'm not being biased lol) ..

1. Nikon Coolpix S210
2. Canon Powershot A470
3. Sony Cybershot DSC-S730

To compare the three Click Here

All decent compacts for under £100, the Cannon is £10 cheaper than the other two.

Nikon would tick all the right boxes out of thosae 3 for me, except the AA battery thing good to have the rechargeable battery packs

Bet the reason doesn't include a flash or lens too.. Although I'm quite sure the vibrate function will be set on full :quiet:

casio exilm and panasonic lumix at the moment are producing some very good stuff for cheap point and shoots.

You also cant really go wrong with a canon ixus.

How much are you wanting to spend? what type of camera, as if you are wanting a proper camera canon have/are releasing the 1000D for budgets, or the 450D.

For a good interim camera the fujifinepix can be pickeed up cheap and have lots of features.]

*just re read* - £100 budget.

try www.camerapricebuster.co.uk

also 7dayshop now do some good deals aswell as all the other online retailers.

not all the time, rechargeable batteries from cameras are expensive.

Sometimes its cheaper to get an AA based camera, a few sets of AA rechargable batteries online and a charger.

Thanks for the input people

I think I'm going to buy the Nikon S210 (in blue) as its just been released and I've been reading a lot of good reviews.
