    Not picking fault, but how can you be sure it's "top quality" I understand that for £25 this seemingly represents value, but in my experience cheap cameras with apparently high MP never deliver the goods, and in fact often under perform over a 'good well branded' 2/3mp camera.

    Just thought i'd enquire before I look into this.

    Not bad for the kids school trips or a beach snapper
    not great reviews.. but 6mp for this price is blinding.
    reviews state images are good...
    Great spot.

    still on currys £89.89 ---- remember what 89p means? get shot!

    Please Please Please don't equate number of megapixels with anything at all. It is almost purely a marketing gimmick (look at, for example, the Nikon D50 D-SLR, which is also 6MP, but costs about £400).

    Cameras are about so much more than purely megapixels. A £25 camera will perform precisely like a £25 camera (i.e. not very well).

    I disagree jamie. I have the D50, D80, F70 (amongst others) and a Vivitar 4 Megapixel I bought from Superdrug last week just for fun. Actually its a really good little camera and takes great snaps. Definitely value for money.

    Don't know about the 6MP one but its probably also fine for not much dosh.

    Yeah, but there's quite a leap between saying something's "value for money" (which I have no doubt this is) and saying something's "Top Quality" (which I have severe doubt this is).

    make sure that it is a real 6mp. some are 2 or 3 mp and they say its 6mp. this is becuase the camera will electronically fill in the colours making it 6 million pixels of colour. these are not really very good because the camera software make the photos look nothing like a real 6mp camera

    It is top quality because it has everything my £150 sony digital camera has plus its going for 89.99 at currys - its that simple
