Just been down to pick one of these A7s up from Argos Speke Liverpool.
Been looking for a 7mb camera at a cheaper price for ages now, I am made up with this !! :j
Get there fast though as they only had 9 in stock.

Another good bargain is the canon A610 camera down from £278 to £139 cat no 560/4614 . This has a 4.0 optical zoom but only 5mb.

smashed is right on both accounts.

See this post for the £99.99 Samsung A7 (first posted in Jan '06), which I cheekily made use of.

It's not a bad camera - plenty of pixels, features, etc for the money. But if I could choose something else now, I would. May be I need to get off my lazy bum & get better acquainted with all its features & experiment more.

I read somewhere that the camera isn't always to blame for poor/average pictures - the photographer is responsible too. Good photo editors (like Paint Shop Pro) & the ability to put them to good use, can also make a big difference at times. Finally, make use of the free & excellent advice to taking better d'cam pictures available on the Internet. G

You are so right.

But, for anyone that is intrested ...... this is a pretty decent camera anyway and the price is just about right.



as GoofyGAT says, "the camera isn't always to blame for poor/average pictures - the photographer is responsible too. Good photo editors (like Paint Shop Pro) & the ability to put them to good use, can also make a big difference at times."

Try experimenting, you will be suprised with the results!
