    MERRY CHRISTMAS!

    aldi have a cemra coming up next week just wondered anyone know if its any good


    i did have a really good camera fujifilm that i only bought a few weeks ago but some little **** stole it of me in town :( so ive decided to go for something cheep and cheerful

    this ones only 100 euro, what i really need is a camera for nights out- so it just need to be good for night time shots, not really interested in video/special features but one like a decent zoom & for it to be pretty small :)


    your help would be much appreciated caus i dont have a clue !

    is this it?

    I've never bought a camera from Aldi or Lidl but I've had a quick look at Argos and the price is quite good for what you're getting - 10 million pixels, 3x optical zoom, a 1G card and 3 year warranty.

    Although, there is this Samsung one there for the same price with a bigger zoom and pictbridge, which might make things easier if you have one of those photo printers and want to print out your own shots?

    rebranded vivtar again...best avoid can get alot better for 100 euro, any big brand will put it shame, ie. canon/nikon/fugi in the last 3 years

    I would think something like this or like this would be a better buy.

    They are 7MP cameras from Canon & Nikon, so the lens will probably be better. I know the Aldi one is 10MP but in a compact anything over about 6MP is really just marketing hype.
