My dad used to have that camera, the SLR look one. I googled image. The cam corder is pretty crap on it, all pixely like a camera phone, I borrowed it of my dad before I bought DLSR as my cannon broke and I thought it was an awful camera compared to my cannon ixux 70. I suppose its ok for £40 though but dont expect brilliant quality. Ok for basic digital camera and camcorder crap. Also bulky, but not as bulky as my nikon but my nikon is worth being bulky.It has a lot of confusing functions that bugged me, my dslr was easier to work.

Well If you look at my older pics on flickr they can show you the quality flickr button on facebook, tells you camera beside pic. This is the cannon ixux 70 pic and no photo shopping done apart from putting my name there.

Nice. My dad has an A570 powershot. I was quit impressed with that. Too bulky for me though. I can see me spending my 15% paypal voucher tonight...

I could get one for £107 give or take a few pence.

I plan to get myself a decent digital camera after I've started working again. I want one that can zoom in pretty good, and take decent shots at night...as well as my other 'usual' needs. (which I'm not going to list just now)

I have the S5600 and I'm happy with it. Getting a bit dated now, but like you want to, I only tend to take pictures of my bike and the scenery.

For £40, I'd buy it.

Just spoke to my brother who has the S5800 and is very happy with it. I reckon for 40 notes you'd be daft not to try it.

Looking at ixus 95is high street prices.

I don't know where to find the categories tbh df.

Comet have them for £130 which would give me to some one to shout at if it broke as it's only down the road.

Edit: I find a camera I want and it doesn't take normal AA batteries. FFS.

I clicked "coupons" and got bad women's clothing.

Just got my ixus 95is and put the battery on charge. I'll be taking pictures of everything I own for the sake of it later. It's a tiny camera!
