    Default Digital camera

    Wise members of SMB. Looking to buy a new digital camera. I will be taking photos of mainly landscapes (Lakes) .

    I already have a 7.1 pixel camera and looking to improve. I have a budget of approx £200 to £250.

    Anyone got any recommendations to a good camera.

    ?

    Looked at the SLR and seem very much out of my price range (Unless you can tell me different?). Compacts seem to be lacking bells and whistles. What is a bridge. (Other than the Alexander or Wear)

    A bridge is something like this: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/spec...nepixs1500.asp

    Or this, as this one has prices against it.

    I am using a Olympus mju 760 at the moment.

    Like i said, i use it while out climbing/walking. Its spec is good and ticks all the boxes. I just want to improve my picture detail now. And would love a greater zoom capability.

    The camera looks good a little big to stuff in my rucksack. Am i being too fussy?

    Some of the Bridge cameras are tiny but I'd recommend you pay a visit to Jessops and try them out. You can then get the best deal on Amazon

    This is the type of views i want to capture.


    that didnot work. I shall visit Jessops as you say. Looked at the new Panasonic Lunix (sp) G. A little pricey.

    I've got the s1500, really good camera! Only bad thing is it's battery powered, even with rechargeable ones the power only lasts a couple of hours

    Sony A200....about £260.

    First class DSLR......

    http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/cat22.html

    Get the 'Sony Alpha A200 + 18-70mm Lens Kit'.

    Monitor prices, best price fluctuates but usually £260 is the best price.
