JohnGalway Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Killed another lovely little Samsung L830 tonight Days before Christmas wouldn't you ###### know it. Need a new camera as that model is discontinued, or I'd happily buy another. Use it mostly photographing dead foxes But plenty of other use too, family photos, events and such. What say ye?

TonyH Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I don't know much about the current selection of compact digi-cams but a friend (another pro photog) just bought the Nikon Coolpix S640 as a present for his daughter, and is pleased with it. I always have some sort of pocket camera as a notebook and for reconnaissance shots, and when my little Canon S60 died a few months ago I replaced it in a hurry with a Nikon P50 I found in a Tottenham Court Road dealer; it's proved OK, after a fault that was repaired under guarantee, 8Mp and sufficient features. But as I said to my friend, the 640's spec is better than that of my P50 for very little more money. It's a little over your budget but that seems like a decent recommendation.

Oly Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Not sure what price they are but for image quality/value/compactness it's hard to beat any of the Panasonic Lumix due to their larger lens and sensor, the other option I would look at is the waterproof shock proof Olympus Mju - we have them for work and they are fair study and very compact, pics are ok too.

Oly Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Or just get a mobile phone with a decent camera on it. Rarely take anything else these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stillair1 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Have a look at the sony cybershot w series with the carl zeiss lens. Current w220 is on offer at jessops at the mo for £100 pounds iirc. I have an early w110 incarnation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
