    Can't find any decent reviews apart from this comment on EmpireDirect.
    I have just purchased the Sinpo SX511 from yourselves and having had a Kodak DC3200 before this one I am extremely pleased with it. It is a nice size, has loads of features and 5 million pixels.
    For the price I dont think you could ask for a better digital camera.

    But should be a bargain for a cheap point and shoot jobbie.

    I find these sort of posts inane and cause people to think twice about posting any finds.

    I did not say the camera was of great quality or build and thought it may be of use to people on a budget.

    Buy it, try it, don't like it. Then send it back.

    Yes you're right, sorry, my mistake :)

    I think most people would be very pleased to receive this camera as a present

    Thanks solly, looks half decent enough to put away for the kids for christmas. The ones they have now are only 1mp and have a measly 8mb built in memory. I could find a use for my old CF cards with these ... Hmm, to buy or not to buy ... Will have to go check my CC statement first :eek:

    I am doing just that. (Well, more accurately I've bought it, taken one look at it, failed to like it and am now sending it back.)

    This appears to be not as good as the Lidl one that comes around very so often, for about the same price.

    At least you don't have to get up with the larks to get one!
