i know nothing about digital camera's,and need to buy one i want to spend as little as possible,but get great quality at the same time, my budget is about £150- 200,that is for everything,camera/memory card etc how many photos do these cards hold?, i know they hold more,if the memory is bigger,but i need numbers or am i better off buying a camcorder,that will record,and take photos,at the same time? where is the cheapest place on-line to get such items?,i dont want to buy the wrong item any help is with thanks regards hursty
If you go to your local retailer then you can check the package of the memory card to see how many it will hold at various Megapixel ratings. My recomendation would be a camera with at least 3 megapixels with a minimum of 3X optical zoom. Don't be fooled by large digital zoom numbers. Digital zoom can be ok in minimal usage, but blurs the image when used at higher levels. Shop around and find the highest megapixel and optical zoom rating available in your price range. Just a little google for ya... http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/hqguides/memory.html http://www.pcphotoreview.com/memoryguidecrx.aspx http://www.futureshop.ca/learnmore/...ard.asp?logon=&langid=EN&dept=2&test_cookie=1
cheers for the advice it seems the higher quality camera(in pixel terms)uses up more memory,than the lower quality ones,which means a 512 mb card on a 4 million pixel camera,will hold less pictures then if the same 512 mb card was used on a 1 million pixel card,which,although obvious,its not something i thought about! so cheers think i will go for a sony
My entry level Kodak has a 5 Mpixel rating. On max quality settings(5Mpixels) I can fit around 100 images on my 128 meg SD card. They come out about 1MB each and have a size of around 2500x1900 pixels. I gave $200 US or about 112 British pounds for the camera. My only wish is for a bit more optical zoom as I'm limited to 3x only.
is it like this one http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/sto...3&category_oid=-20424&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null
this one looks good also http://www.comet.co.uk/comet/html/cache/179_254444.html and this http://www.comet.co.uk/comet/html/cache/179_245291.html think this is the one,it got very good ratings http://www.cameras.co.uk/details/sony-dsc-w5.cfm and for £184 http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/86319/art/sony/cyber-shot-dsc-w5.html?srcid=37
actually my camera is a bit bulkier.... http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/readerrate.php?reviewId=262 I've noticed you're leaning towards the Sony cameras. They are indeed nice. I'm not a big fan though as the "memory stick" seems to almost be a Sony exclusive. Meaning you'll have to buy another Sony if you upgrade/buy another camera and want to continue to use your additional memory. I like some of the other formats like SD for the ability to use it in a wide range of camera brands. But I'm no expert in the digital camera world so don't take just my word. Let google be your guide.....do some research.
