Large display of them - probably 100+ - Was £85 Now £47

Appears to be £69 or more online for anywhere that has them in stock - retailing over £100 at some.

    We got this as we've always had a pentax, however was pretty disappointed with it...

    Was bulky, plasticy and the flash really hurt the eyes....

    did it take a good picture though ?
    I got a cheapo Vivitar X225 (10.1mp) camera and the picture quality is pretty rubbish, so for the money, if this does better, i would be happy buying this :)

    i bought a fujifilm ax250 recently and pretty impressed so far, 14mp 5xoptical zoom, clear photos even w/o the flash. the only gripe i have is i can't have the time/date stamp on the pic which i find useful as i like to print/sort them in my old fashioned photo album :) i still love my previous camera a hp 10mp with 3x optical zoom. my first camera was a vivitar, what a waste of money.

    it was 39.99 but gone up now by £10 but still great value.
