    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

    Dont you think someone would have sued currys already if this wasnt really 6mp.

    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

    It won't have the same "build quality" or "picture quality" of the sony though. There's a lot about picture quality that can't be compared on paper. And I just doubt this is the same.

    Also, if I were to want a "top quality" 6mp camera I'd be expecting to pay £300+, not £90....

    While stocks last

    I'm sorry but just because its a 6mp camera does not mean its top quality, its definetly cheap but you get what you pay for I would suggest that this camera has probably got quite a lot of shutter lag if it was a top quality camera it wouldnt have, maybe you should go and work for the goverment I think their in need of a good spindoctor!:naughty:

    Take it back to the shop with your reciept and they should give you another one or your money back. Consumer rights man

    With all due respect, that makes it potentially good value but says nothing about its quality.

    Reviews such as the following (4 out of 10) cast doubt on the topness of its quality.

    "Bad points: Unfortuantely the camera only seems able to take a few pictures before the batteries needs replacing, which has made if practically useless, we will probably bring it back to customer service when my daughter can get it all together and we have a couple of hours to spare. "

    But thanks for posting the deal, it is a very good price on that camera.

    Ok we've heard you - go and pay 300+ for your "Top Quality" digital Camera.

    I have just bought myself a 6 mega pixel digital camera with 2.4" colour LCD screen, 4 x Digital Zoom and 3 x Optical Zoom for £25 - saving myself £55

  • have you taken a look at the Kodak website clearance section. There were some good deals there and probably better quality.

    anyone tested this cam. megapixel don't mean anything. the sharp gx30 camera fone is only 1 mp and that beats some digicams that are 4mp.

    u have to look at other specifications to determine the true quality.
