tis good or bad, mind its cheap which is what im after

[Milford Cubicle]

You can't really go wrong with a Canon, but weren't you after a digital camera?

[VWPowered]

don't tell me it takes a film i did look at some pikey digitals but havent got a ton to spend on a new one, i prefer the solid build of SLR's and with a big camera when at shows people tend to 'move' out of the way

[Milford Cubicle]

It's definitely a film camera. If only you could pick up a digital SLR for 55 Euros.

 

If you want to be really imposing, why don't you buy a traditional large format camera?

 

 

It'll truly shout 'GET OUTTA MY WAY, I'M A PHOTOGRAPHER

how about this, i would defo like a canon

[Milford Cubicle]

Film again.

Even the cheapest used DSLRs sell for around £150-£200, in the UK at least.

 

Have you thought about getting a 'bridge' camera, one of the long-zoom ones?

 

e.g. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fuji-S6500-with-f ... 0378161700

All of those are fairly primitive and/or basic 'point and shoot' cameras. It sounds like you want something more than that.The Sony ought to be alright though, my friend has a similar one and it takes cracking shots.

these are the only others i can find..?? so may look like sony wins this one for now, in afew months i'll upgrade but need in the meantime

[retrogeezer]

As recommended before and liked by all those that bought it...the Fuji S5800 is a great camera but I can't find new ones on Amazon anymore..

the only fuji's ive found locally are the one's above

[retrogeezer]

Seeing your photos I would have thought a bridge camera would be your kind of thing. The Minolta Z10 gets a pretty good review here: http://www.steves-digicams.com/camera-reviews/konica/minolta-dimage-z10/konica-minolta-dimage-z10-review.html

But is getting on a bit...still 65 euros is quite cheap I guess.

i do want a bridge camera and may order one from uk ebay once work has settled itself, just dont have the cash now, but i need something for next week, the kodak is abit heavy for mountain trekking... some of the places we have bookmarked hence the need for a good all round digital or something..

 

be our first holiday as a family

 

 

yeah Konica Z10 seems a not bad camera, but come on look at it, its scary

 

 

do like the fuji that milford posted up seems a really good deal that and thats the kind of thing i want for car shows, family pics etc, cybershot will just be cool for spots

[retrogeezer]

What are the locations of those place?? They look fantastic - especially the 1st two.

No 1 et 2 are both Carcassonne

Stunning......I wish I could get my other half to move to France..

[Roc 24v]

I've been there, awesome place.I have the older Fuji SS5700 and it's very good indeed.

[shite_meister]

Canon G7 would've fitted the bill, compact enough to take anywhere with 10MP sensor, I've got one being a seasoned clicky and I'm most impressed with it and it has all the features of a digital SLR including a hot-shoe and being superceded by the G9 and G10 I expect they'll be cheap.I can't quite bear to get shot of my old manual Nikon gear especially as my 1970s FM and Olympus OM1 & 2 will still produce excellent results.Hey I have a good quality film scanner if you're interested? then you'd have the best of both worlds and a great quality digital pic at the end, if not it might be worth looking out for a film scanner over there.
