    The S3000 specs. The 6x optical appears one of the best features, that many of today's cameras don't even boast of.

    Appears a bit chunky by today's standards.

    Couple of reviews, that rated it about average to good:

    Though it was £200 a few years ago, £50 may have been more like 'Grabbit' material. G

    It's a very good camera, my dad had one of the S304 (basically the same). The only downside I can see is the xD card as opposed to SD or compact flash. xD are pretty expensive.

    It is chunky because it has much better lenses than your average slip in a girl's handbag camera.

    I owned an S3000 about 3 cameras ago, and I can advise that it produced exceptionaly good pictures, and the 6x optical zoom lens was very good.
    The camera let itself down however by having extremely bad shutter lag. Taking spur of the moment pics of anything moving was a nightmare. The lag this camera had was probably the worst of any camera I have owned, but on portraits or non motion shots, its picture quality was extremley good.

    Fuji S5600 going for £150 at Currys, PC World etc - 5mpix, 10x zoom, was over £200 early this year.
  • I'd agree that the s5600 is a steal at that price,

    i actually posted the fuji refurb site on shop dont drop a couple of days ago as the site is'nt actually offering anything short term or going anywhere anytime soon.

    I'd also say that the s9500 is the best bargain on there. it's won loads of awards, loads of great reviews, and its about £60 cheaper than anywhere online and £100 cheaper than the high street.
    the down side is only 6 months warranty, the upside is it's had a techies once over which i doubt those in the standard factory run get...
    Cheers
    Cheap
