Go for the Fuji. Much better camera. I have seen the ones from Aldi in action and it looks like there is a fog across you photos. Fuji are a much better brand of camera and will have a better lens.

Fuji.

Neither of those seem like a bargain to me though...

its quite possiable both camera are fuji. I have a fuji and my mother got a travelstar and they are in the same casing. Almost the same camera in every way ofther than the power button and brand name. Id say they are made by the same company.

not much of a bargain considering you'll get the newer Jv100 around town for €110 with the case and card included,and a voucher for €50 off lynch hotels next year...worth it for the sake of an extra €19!

No need to apologise, I was just saying I wouldn't be jumping at purchasing either of those cameras at that price.

What about this one. For an extra €10 you get a better Fuji model and 4G memroy card.

Anyone any recommendations on a good compact with 12 x optical zoom plus records HD movies - looking at panasonic Linux budget between the €200-€300 mark.

peckerhead · 17-12-2010 11:29PM

TZ-10 or, better still, last year's model the TZ-7. Both available around the £200/€250 mark.
