Cheap camera for 2 week holiday?

  • I've owned a cheap Fuji and Samsung - both slow, painful to use with poor picture quality. Absolute wastes of money.

    As with most things, depends on the model.

    I have a Finepix SL 1000 and it's excellent, and I say this as a long term 35mm SLR user.
    I value having a good camera myself, so wouldn't touch those cheap brands with a barge-pole

    There's cheap in price (a good thing) and cheap in quality (a bad thing), so, while I'd put my Finepix in the first category, I wouldn't put it in the second.
  • And as I said; i've tried the low end Fuji and Samsung models - both cack. However i've also tried a low end Panasonic and it was great.

    I'm saying this as a user of digital cameras since 1998 ;-)
  • Actually you said cheap, not low end. The two are not necessarily the same.

    My Finepix is (for what you get) quite cheap, but I wouldn't call it low end.

    What about a lightning/usb flash drive for your iPhone? This one seems to be pretty cheap.

    Lightning to USB cable = the supplied charging/sync lead (?)
    I think OP would have to transfer photos to pc/laptop first before they could be transferred to pen drive, afaik you can't transfer directly

    Fine call it a lightning otg cable then, but it will transfer directly.
