SportingShooter 0 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 One tip, look at the quality of the Lens rather than how many MegaPixel, a good lens will take good pics with low MP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

larsen 0 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Look at some of the cheap Panasonic compacts, can't go far wrong. The Hewlett Packard hairycatcat suggested is great value for money but doesn't have an optical zoom just digital. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Hewlett Packard hairycatcat suggested is great value for money but doesn't have an optical zoom just digital. Can someone explain to me the difference between optical and digital zoom. I've been out with a freelance photographer for work(around the time i got my old phone, so i was all camera techno keen:D) and asked her what the difference was, she mumbled n jumbled but she didn't have an igloo. Some professional she was lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you would need to balance out how much it costs because a cheap camera is better to stomach when you lose it than a dearer one and to be honest is there that much difference in a digital zoom and the other?
