advice on basic digital camera

jobless

Hey all,

I’m looking at buying a digital camera for a trip I’m going on in a few weeks. I’m not looking to spend an awful lot so I was looking at the one below. Is this any good?... I’m not looking for anything special from the photos I take just that they are of a decent quality. Would also like to maybe capture some video clips…

cheers

I'm no pro but that camera looks fine for what you want it for. The 10m pixels will give you good quality pictures which should be fine to enlarge ( within reason).
I cannot see a memory card listed in the specs so you will also need to get one ( maybe 2 if you can't empty the camera every night)
A 2Gig card should hold over 500 pictures if memory serves me right
