Lads what is the best small cheap camera for my cycling jaunts around the country.

Go Pro. End of thread

Edit: Wait missed cheap. This puts the gro pro out unless you are extremely affluent

just for taking pictures or for video too?

monkeyslayer · 15-03-2013 4:17pm

the one on your phone, cause you'll be bringing your phone anyway...

feck sake lads · 15-03-2013 4:43pm

thanks lads no the go pro is way out of my range, i just need a camera that takes excellent pics if theres a video on it as well great but more interested in a cheap quality one if at all possibe .

If you just want snapshots as a record of your spin then I would agree with using your phone but it sounds like you want more. Composing an image on a bright day is very difficult with a phone (at least the ones I've tried). Any Canon or Nikon compact will work really well, and prices are so low just now that it is difficult to go wrong. To paraphrase an infamous quote....'It's not about the camera"

GoPros are only mediocre still cameras.

Fujifilm EXR Series compacts. Real great all round cameras

Had a couple of Canon Ixus cameras and think they're brilliant. First one took dogs abuse in my back pocket for a couple of years when I was mountain biking and has nothing more than a slight ding - still works. Got a newer one late last year but Itend to use my phone more these days.

Bought a Panasonic with Leica lens for my sister for Christmas and it's a great little camera, price has also dropped since.

If your in the big smoke, Gunn's Camera Shop is the place to go for sound advice. He's just on Wexford Street.
