Kodak C300 Camera plus Printer : £51.99 at Tescos

astronaut

Picked one up in St Neots - camera is 3.2MP (not optical zoom). At least 1 left

Two weeks earlier the camera on its own was £49 and the printer was being sold on its own for £78.

The printer paper/inks work out at 50p / print so not something I would use all the time.

Pretty mediocre camera but good price for first time digi photographers and younger users

If digital cameras get any cheaper they'll soon be classed as disposable!!

My first digital was a casio; way less than 1 megapixel and the only way you got it to zoom was to move closer to the subject;cost £300 second hand...my second a Kodak...on credit at Dixons for over £500...3X zoom and just over 1 megapixel....I can't belive I ever paid that much....and obviously money was worth more then!

my 1st cam was a Nikon 3200 coolpix - cost me £100 and i still love it, handy little pocket camera - though can get the 5200 for about that price now. My latest camera is a Nikon D50 SLR - cost me just over £500 and it was worth every penny. Got mine about feb and its been used loads, and still about the cheaper side of the price you can pay now.

This camera, i would say is ok for quality and that. It is for those mainly who dont have a pc or dont wish to use a pc. it is a good camera but i woudl reccomend a proper digital point and shoot instead of this, with an optical zoom - digital zoom is useless - you can do the same thing on your pc and it would be less pixilated

digital zoom, is not even a zoom its just selling thing like camcoders whats that all about 700x zoom ah what ever. I think people should put this amount in a jar and then keep adding 5iver a week for 2 months and they would be able to buy a nice decent camera that they would love and use. remeber camera is for life not just xmas, atleast the memories are. btw 3x optical zoom does make a differnce

:rolleyes: Good point to the above. Cheap cameras tend to loose value quickly. I purchased a canon s70 last summer for £260 and it now costs £200, a similar £150 will now cost £70. In terms of pixels, it aim for 5 megapixels. In terms of lens quality and build, stick with canon, kodak and olympus; sony is good but memory sticks or slightly more expensive (although psp has decreased prices) and the last onoe I had broke. If you go for a camera with zoom make sure its not an internal mechanism but telescopic (ie bits come out from the front!!).
