    Hi all,

    With Christmas fast approaching, I've decided to look at getting the other haf a digital camera as she's badly missing one since her old one broke last year.
    I've been looking at various reviews but there's such a selection out there that I've no idea what's better than another.

    Unfortunately money is tight so I'm looking for advice on a decent-ish 10/12 MP camera that's light, easy to use and costs about €200-250 either online (Komplett/elara/amazon etc) or bricks n mortar.

    Ta for any advice!

    Hi Kaiser!

    Can't believe Christmas is nearly upon us! What type of camera are you looking for? Is it compact/bridge/dslr/etc?

    Actually, before you answer that, first thing I would do if I were you is read this thread:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055557678

    It's very useful and will probably get you asking us the right questions. Once you've had a gander through that, and have maybe narrowed down your selection we're obviously more that happy to try advise where we can.

    Hope this helps,
    KG

    If you want a compact:
    Panasonic ZS1 (TZ6 in Europe) from Ebay for £148 or €165 with delivery. It's €300 in store here.
    12x optical zoom!
    nice features
    small enough to carry around with you.

    Read good review here

    The ZS1 and 3 (TZ 7 in europe) models are very similar, the 3 has HD video recording, .5 inch larger screen etc. but costs a fair bit more
