    I can get a deal on a Polaroid t730 for €69.

    description here

    I'll be using it basically for snaps on my round the world trip so it doesn't have to be "professional".

    I got a cheapo camera a couple of years ago and the shutter speed was so slow that things had to be perfectly still to get a good shot. Would I have that problem with this camera?

    Thanks!

    It gets very mixed reviews... I would spend the extra few euro and atleast break the 100 euro mark. I got a Samsung S85 for mam last week and its great

    Yeah since I posted that we had a look at the reviews on amazon and there's quite a bit of negativity tbh, specifically regarding reliability.

    EDIT: That camera you mentioned seems to get good reviews and looks like value money so I might go for that.

    Have been looking into those cameras a bit and have read that you need to know a fair bit about photography in order to use the manual settings properly and get decent photos. Apparently it's not the best if you know little about photography (like me!) because the automatic settings aren't great. Is that correct? Other than that issue most of what I've read is positive and it seems to be a good value camera.

    Any advice would be great. Thanks!

    Only thing I'll say is I once bought a camera like this at a great price, and the case was pretty crappy. The SD card will also be a bargin model, not very fast etc. But should be fine for what you want to do with it.

    As for the camera, no experience with Samsungs, but I had a nice Kodak P&S, and a Nikkon one I bough in Asia.
