Reasonably priced digital camera.

Boomdocker

Im looking for a reasonably priced digital camera. nothing flash but enough to take photo's to mainly post pics for ebay. My last camera has just died. There are some cheap vivitars and similar but not sure what they are like so if anyone has any comments they would be appreciated.

What's your opinion of reasonable?

I guess around the £50 mark tops. I have seen a Practica for £9.99 but have heard thay are rubbish so don't neccessarily want a cheap and nasty. A decent bargain would be great bearing in mind what I want use it for. I'm not after top quality.

I'd recommend going secondhand for a decent camera under £50. Try somewhere like Ebay and go for a recognised brand, like Canon, Nikon, Sony or Fuji. If it's mainly for something like Ebay, you'd get away with 2-4 megapixels. Remember that it's the lens that makes a camera, not the megapixel count! I have a Nikon Coolpix 4500 which is only 4 megapixels but takes much better pictures than a new, cheap camera which claims it has 10mp.

I'd recommend something like a Nikon Coolpix 3100, an older Canon Ixus like the 430 (I have one - cost £38 inc postage, 4mp and great pic quality) or something like a Canon PowerShot S30.

Edit: I also saw yesterday a nice looking Samsung digital camera for £49 in a local TJ Hughes store, they also have shops around the country I think.

id agree with dwain above. i can recommend a canon ixus, i used to have one until i had a swimming pool involved accident.... ive now upgraded but they're brilliant cameras.

I got a vivitar from superdrug was about £35 and it better than my expensive one for quality pics. I only got dearer one as it played video back with sound from the camera and vivitar didn't although it played back with sound on TV prob me doin sumat wrong!! :beer:

Hi, instead of reasonably priced digital camera you can go for some nice one, so that you can use it for longer time. I recently gifted a camera for my sister, it is really great, she is enjoying a lot with it. I bought it from

http://www.checkcost.co.uk/digital-cameras/c/4368/pageindex/0/ you can checkout this. It’s really a nice site for shopping and you can get the camera of different ranges.
