    Canon ixus 75, very good camera and very simple to use, just make sure you read the manual makes it so much easier to use, around £140 but well worth paying for it. Has facial recognition technology which works very well. Red eye reduction is built into the camera and you can also remove any missed red eye after a photo is taken using the software you get with the camera. It has great video and sound recording quality as well, ideal for taking quick vids of a concert. I would highly recommend this camera, I have been looking at digital cameras for a long time and this one is one of the best compact digital cameras on the market at the moment. Currys is a good place to look for this one because my girlfriend works there as the camera expert at her store and she knows that they are getting stock in at the moment.

    With Currys deal, you get 14.99 saving on a Canon leather case (only 10 extra with ixus 75 camera purchase) and also unlike the ixus 80 it is much better built and better extras as I do find the ixus 80 idiot proof but it's so basic it's suitable for children. You can also get a 4gb SDhc memory card for 29.99...it used to be 59.99. Any questions just ask!

    P.S: Sales people do not get commission in currys/comet/etc so to be honest they will be honest with the advise...I know I am at my work! At Cheetham hill Currys they will try to do you a better deal than Comet or any others really!

    Are you serious? A camera is better because the battery lasts longer? What about the quality of the lens and the CCD or the zoom range? I'd rather have a better quality camera with a shorter battery life. It's no hardship to carry a spare set.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
