    HERE HERE! They are Great.
    BUT, its down to the efforts of messers 'roney' and co to post the great deals.
    A deal is always in the eye of the beholder, if you own your house and drive a Merc this camera is probably off the mark and a piece of tat.
    But, if you look at the Jessops deal posted for a £400 Nikon on ukhotdeals and think my car only cost 2 times that (£950 Ford in my case) then this is a bargain. I'm never going to part with £400 on a camera unless it could supplement my heating costs whilst devouring batteries...:rolleyes:

    Also for those that had the Vivitar 5385 have you seen this website

    its has a few less features but is a Pentax Optio 50 clone ;) maybe the Premier is a similar clone?

    Wow, thanks.

    Always wondered why the 5385 was so good. (Cost me £30 from superdrug about a year ago now)

    Anything has got to be better than my freebie digital camera I aquired ..initially thanks to this website and then joining 'whichmagonline' for a free camera deal!

    It great for free but every time I try and sell something on ebay I have to take about 30 pics before the object is in the frame! (eg. what you look at through the camera is not what you get in the final picture frame!). So its a guessing game taking pictures! lol! Hopefully I will sell enough of my little valuables soon so I can buy a decent camera!

    I never know what is most important when looking for a great camera ..the mega pixal or the zoom? I guess that a 7 pixel is pretty good even though they are 10 pixel now.
    Anyone know what Zoom is best to look for in a camera when needing good quality close-ups?

    If you need zoom in a camera you want OPTICAL zoom, not just digital. Very important since it greatly affects picture quality.

    The amount of megapixels is one of the least important factors.
