Hi just signed up here and I thought some one may be able to help me, im looking for a new camera (as you probably already guessed) and i have around £40-£60 to spend I have no idea about good camera manufacturers, the only features i want are above 4 megapixels and id like video recording support (with audio) thats about it. Was wondering if anyone could help cheers

I can recommend Kodak. They're great at traditional cameras and their digital cameras are just as good. PC World are selling the Kodak C613 for about £60 (10% off if you are a student). There is also a Praktica DPix5200 for around £40. Currys have a Samsung S600 up at around £60. Have a look through the specs and see which you like best (they all meet your minimum requirements).

The only one I can personally recommend is the Kodak as I have a Kodak LS753 myself, and my sister has a Kodak too. The build quality is great, the pictures are clear, sharp and bright, they're easy to use, and you can customise a lot of options if you want a bit more control. Then again, I have never had a camera by Praktica or Samsung, so I'd suggest you check out some detailed reviews online for those.

Interesting. In your country you have good cameras for only £60. In mine if you want a good camera you need to spend quite a sum to afford it

Try sony cybershot dsc-730. Will fall into your range. 7.2 mega pixels, 3x zoom and 2.4" LCD monitor. Good picture quality and comes with a 512 Mb card. Should do the job.

Definitely go with the camera godfather89 suggested. It's the camera I suggest to all customers with a low budget. The only downside is if you want a larger card, but it comes with one so yeah. Don't worry about the 7.2 mega pixels. That's enough to print a high quality 8.5x11 page. Best of all, it looks great!

I have the Sony Cyber Shot too, a different number than the one you listed, mine's a DSC-P72. It's just 3.2 mega pixels, but that takes a lot of pictures, I've had over 300 at a time. The only problem with it, and I think with nearly all digital camera's is the delay between the time you push the button and the time the picture actually gets taken. When you are trying to get those perfectly posed puppy shots that delay is a royal pain in the hind end. Puppys are not too good about sitting still to get their picture taken. I had to take pictures of 4 different pups this evening, it took 82 shots to get even a couple good ones of each pup.

But, other than the delay, this has been a really good camera. I use it a LOT, as you can imagine. Seems like I have to take pictures almost all the time. I've been useing this one a few years now, and it's still going strong. I like that it uses regular AA batteries, I get the rechargable ones and have quite a few extra ones that I try to keep charged up ahead of time. Some camera's have specialized batteries and I think that would be a real pain to not have a good extra supply.

My camera also takes short video clips, but I have never been able to figure out how to make the video files small enough to send out as emails. Wish I could manage that, but I'm just not that smart.
