New Camera

gary the great

Am loojking for a new camera, just a cheapish one for bringing on nights out etc

I dont really care about megapixels and all, the only thing is it must be small, so that it will easily fit in the pocket when im going out.

Any suggestions? Looking to spend about 100-200euro

And it only cost €130 on pixmania, when you buy it with a case and 1GB of memory. I've bought 2 as gifts and the people I gave them to love it.

Thanks Bonzer, its between your suggestion and these:
7dayshop.com have a Sony DSC-S650 for £85 + shipping or a Canon PowerShot A460 for £78 + shipping.

Anyone know which would be the better and smaller?

canon would be ALOT better... sony aren't the best for cameras at all at all

Compare cameras at dpreview.com you will get side by side specs, dimensions, weight etc.

Or checkout a few of the stickies on the photo forum.

Will do.
Had a look at the suggested cameras in a camera shop nearby and they seem far to big. I want a slim one.

According to dpreview, these are the lightest, so presumably slim, cameras on offer at the moment:

Canon PowerShot SD200
Canon PowerShot SD30
Canon PowerShot SD40
Canon PowerShot SD20
Canon PowerShot SD10
Canon PowerShot SD300
Canon PowerShot SD400
Casio Exilim EX-Z30
Casio Exilim EX-Z40
Casio Exilim EX-Z60

The Casio's I have used and they are ultra-slim. No bad cameras either for what you want one for.

Included a pdf there for hte dp review results, not the easiest layout with the split pages but zoom in, or else check it out yourself by searching for the lightest option you can pick in the camera search criteria.

Thanks thats the type im looking for, a slim camera so it doesnt bulk out through the pockets!

There a 160euro, are they a good camera? I was hoping not to spend that much if possible and more around the 100mark, if anyone knows a camera similar in size to these for chaper then let me know! Or where is the cheapest place to buy one!


Also are they a really delicate camera?

thanks!

Got it with Amazon? I thought that they didn't ship electronic items to Ireland?? They changed their policy?
