Nikon Coolpix 4800 or Olympus C-765

Hi people,

I need your help, last year my girlfriend got me a lovely Fuji digital camera that had no optical zoom. I've had a fun time practising my camera skills but I now feel the need for a digital camera with a good optical zoom, about 4 megapixels and small size so it can fit in jeans pocket or her handbag.

I think I have narrowed the choice to the two in the title. Does anyone have experience of these and best prices? Nikon I have found for £179.99 https://www.equipmentexpress.co.uk and Olympus £189.99 https://www.amazon.co.uk.

Or can people think of a camera that would be good?

Me and the girlfriend are going to Wimbledon for the tennis, an Oasis concert, two weddings and New York for a holiday so the camera will get good use.

Thank you all for your time

If your budget can stretch to £199.99, Komplett have a Nikon Coolpix 7600 available in their newsletter today.

It's a 7.1 megapixel camera, and this is a great price.

Do check out some reviews first though of course!

You could always try the canon outlet on EBay:- http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Canon-Outlet or the Fuji refrurbished shop:- http://www.fujifilm.co.uk/technical/refurb/shop.php. Both of these offer excellent value.

The canon I would suggest is the A80 or A85 or the very neat Ixus 500 or 430 or even 400. They do not have huge optical zooms but are quality pieces of kit at excellent prices. I have bought loads from them.

If you want a serios camera try the Fuji S5500 at £159 from Fuji refurbished. Or alternatively if you can find the slightly older S602 is superb.
