[QUOTE="Mr Hako, post: 1947950, member: 28718"] Sadly, there is no such thing as a good cheap digital camera. You can spend a lot of money and get something that's decent or go really cheap and get something that's okay for snaps. Buying middle of the range is pointless, tomorrow it will be bargain bucket technology. It depends on your experience, and expertise. If you are just a happy snapper, anything, any brand, between £70-150 will do. In this price bracket the image quality largely depends on the CCD and for that sort of money, everything will be the same quality, regardless of brand. For cheaper cameras, the general rule is the more pixels the better. 6megapixels will give you good 6 inch prints, comparible to the sort of print you'd get from Boots taken with a film camera. For expensive cameras, this rule doesn't really hold, because expensive glass lenses can get more out of the same CCD than a cheap plastic lens. If you want to take quality professional photographs then I'd recommend the new Olympus 2/3rds system. The Zuiko lenses are class and it's a beautiful camera (but will break the bank). In this price bracket, you start paying for the optics, and good glass is expensive. Hope this helps, William PS I'm a commercial photographer who still uses film. [/QUOTE]
