Can anyone recommend a digital camera?

timdiecast

I'm after a digital camera for around £200. I currently have a Kodak DX3700 but find it's not up to much for close up shots. I need around 4 million pixels with a macro that will enable me to take pictures of small toy cars without blur.

Thanks.

can anyone FIND my digital camera?! its literally grown legs and left my house, its driving me mad!

anyway, when i find it is an olympusC-765UZ Digital Camera (4Mp, 10x Optical) and i think its brilliant, its my third camera and the quality is great. its not one of the little compact ones mind but it takes great pictures. I have used it for close ups with success.

BTW its £199 here but you can probably find it cheaper elsewhere

Nothing close to the Panasonic FZ-3. Nothing.

Take a look here:-

http://www.fujifilm.co.uk/technical/refurb/shop.php a couple of the SLR ones might be worth a look.

If you can find a S602 that has a fine macro fubction and is the one I bought. Should be under £200 (discontinued model). But these prices are all pretty good

Depends what size camera you want - we will all have favorites, but in the end it's up to you. I don't think you can go too far wrong with Canon, Minolta, Pentax Fuji and co. A good retailer is - http://www.digital-cameras.com/shop/default.asp
Also consider the type of memory and batteries - I prefer AA cells - get them from 7-day shop.

My personal favorite camera is -

When I was looking for digital camera for a month after reading all magazines... best for me was Canon Powershot models. I got more expensive one G3, but small ones are good as well.

I Bought the Canon Powershot A80 about a year ago now after a great deal of review reading and the recommendation of others and as a package it's (IMHO) a great piece of kit.

Great results across the board (including Macro), Very easy to use the camera, Very easy to use the software and the 4AA batteries swung it for me.

Here's a Macro shot from a review.....
