john_lcfc Posted 22 March 2006 Posted 22 March 2006 after research i have found out nearly all of sonys cameras are called cybershot so stuff varies..this is mine
Libertine Posted 22 March 2006 Posted 22 March 2006 I have a Fujifilm Finepix A120. Not bad. Got it for Crimbo so I didn't have to take our good expensive one to away games with me.
Matt Posted 22 March 2006 Author Posted 22 March 2006 This is mine (I think it is a slighly older version of mine), IMO this picture makes the screen look bigger than it is ;
Head Honcho Posted 22 March 2006 Posted 22 March 2006 I'd keep the Cybershot, got one myself and to be honest you can't beat em!
Tomassi Posted 22 March 2006 Posted 22 March 2006 For £50 mate you got yourself a BAAAAAAAARGAIN The one im getting at work is a Canon EOS 5D, with Lens that will cost a cool £2,450 !! Not too sure the boss will be happy with that but its 13million pixels !!

Not too sure the boss will be happy with that but its 13million pixels !! You could see a pimple on a fly's bottom with that.
Nationwider Posted 22 March 2006 Posted 22 March 2006 I've got a Canon Ixus 40. It's extremely small and light, has a good shutter lag time and looks sexy. It's really easy to use, which is great for a galah like me.
Stuliasz Posted 23 March 2006 Posted 23 March 2006 I've got a Canon Ixus 40. It's extremely small and light, has a good shutter lag time and looks sexy. It's really easy to use, which is great for a galah like me. I'm with Nationwider on recommending the Canon Ixus models. The pics they take are top class, and it is very easy to use. I have the Canon Ixus 55 model which comes with a much larger screen to make it easier to see what you have taken, and overall I'm just well impressed with the camera.
Phube Posted 23 March 2006 Posted 23 March 2006 This is mine. 7.1M pixels, it's sooo cool.... But a Kodak didgital camera for £50 ain't bad either!!
Anish Posted 23 March 2006 Posted 23 March 2006 Well seeing as everyone else is posting pics of their cameras... Mine:
Newcastle_Fox Posted 23 March 2006 Posted 23 March 2006 Pentax S5i Packs a good punch for a little fella
The People's Hero Posted 23 March 2006 Posted 23 March 2006 Don't have one... reading this thread and the fact I'm going to Hong Kong in 2 days time does make me want one though.
