Cameras

Hello, novice at this but looking to buy a new digital camera, mine doesn't take good pictures at night and often blurs them, but it is old and has been dropped a lot....

Had a look around forums and websites, seems optical zoom is something to look out for....use my camera a lot for nights out, as well as taking pretty pictures and as a "semi hobby" - not one that I'd boast about to anyone!

Saw these, and was wondering what people though and if there were other suggestions. Budget ~£130 mark, ideally £100 but can also stretch a bit if something magical comes up over it.

Fujifilm Finepix T200

Olympus VR-320

Samsung WB650


Thanks

I got the samsung wb600 last year and am very happy with it,the zoom is good and the pictures are very clear.
I have used the video quite a lot and the results are really good e.g taking videos of my grandchildren on motocross bikes, no stutter or going out of focus.
I mainly set it to auto and it does the rest!

If you are talking about taking photos at night without flash you will not get good results with any camera unless the subject is still and you are using a tripod.

At that price range they'll be quite basic and I doubt you'll get decent shots at night. I spent £200 on a Canon compact for my nights out where I didn't want to carry my DSLR and frankly the quality sucks!
