Thanks everyone (thank you button not working atm)

I am still a bit confused and, to be honest I have looked at so many cameras, online, over the past couple of days that I have forgotten what I have seen.

I bought DS2 a Canon Powershot A470 for his recent birthday and it's fab. DS1 (13yrs old) now wants a camera for Christmas but, of course, it has to be better than the canon bought for DS2.

He wants the movie mode so that he can film his juggling acts and carry on 'performing' until the card is used up.

During my search I remember seeing a slogan something like ' The only thing that limits it ,is the size of the memory card '. Any ideas?

I have been looking at the spec of Fujifilm A850 and was wondering what was meant by movie recording time (on hyperlink scroll to the bottom of page to the table extreme rh column )

Thanks so much everyone....... I'm fed up with Christmas already and it's still November!!

For sheer value for money and functionality, you would be hard pressed to beat my suggestion.

In fact, I challenge you to find a better deal.

3" Touch screen, Media Player(watch movies & listen to music), an hour of good quality video per GB(the Fuji to which you have linked gives only 14 minutes of video per GB)....

The website to which I have linked also has sample pictures.

It's a fun camera for a young person.

You will need to look for a camera that utilises MPEG 4 XviD compression. They have the ability to shoot over a hour of video per GB at 30fps using 640 x480 Pixels.

The cameras mentioned above are likely to achieve around 11 minutes of video per GB.

This Samsung i7 will match Leopard's 'super duper' widescreen mode and give you the ability to shoot an hour of video per GB. All for a mere £60.

Plus the footage will be easily edited and coverted into DVD Video if necessary.

You can use it as a Personal Media Player too. Watching videos and listening to MP3 files.

I just wanted to let you know that I went with your suggestion. Bought it from Amazon for £59.xx and with in a few days went upto £174 :eek: .

My son absolutely loves it. It does everything he wanted and more. We took up the Amazon offer on boxing day for £3 worth of mp3 downloads and managed to get 5 songs. He sits and plays those tunes over and over.

Simply delighted., Thank you
