Jessops will price match internet if you ask, that way you get best of both worlds! whats good is you can quote a price from a site you would never trust to use! i got both my cameras from there a fuji finepix s602 (great camera packed with features though a little big) and a canon ixus s400 (great little camera for point and shot and having in pocket was £499 in jessops they sold it me for £339). One warning i would give with jessops is they have a 30 day money back if you dont like the camera, as you can imagine this gives them a lot of used cameras! know what i am getting at!!!

Or you could just do what I did and get one of these.

Picture quality is better than a normal camera, you get limited optical zoom, and brightness control, and it's one less thing to carry when out on a pub crawl!!!!!!!

If your want pocketability, look at the Casio Exilim EX-S20.    It doesnt have zoom, but it got lab winner in PC PRO (Aug 04) and it looks realy good and isnt expensive.

Pritty much all digital camers will support some kind of memory card unless you get something very cheep or different.

Don't forget digital cameras eat through batteries if your using the display, best to buy rechargables if it takes standard batterys.

I got a camera from http://www.pixmania.com/ because they were the cheepest at the time for what i wanted. Delivery was fine and no complaints

I use the bonus-print software for getting my pics printed i swear its cheaper than doing it yourself and the quality is great too takes a week max to get back!

Aha, a handy camera topic. How convenient.

A friend of mine can line me up with decent deals on some finepix cameras - around £260 each for a S20 Pro and a S7000. Anyone here know enough about these things to tell me (a) if they're decent cameras and (b) which would be the better of the two?

I have a Canon Powershot A75 and my older brother the Canon Powershot A85. Great stuff. The lense on the front is removable so you can put a bigger one on it.
Excellent stuff.

If you are looking for a cracking buy the HP R707 5.1 Mp camera is just £200 at the moment  :blink: . Its a damn good camera
