Point And Shoot Recommendations
Hi Guys,
I'm getting really bored of using a mobile for pics, the images come out lookin pants, and it takes bloody ages.
But I can't justify the cost of a dSLR, and i want some thing smaller so I can carry it around more and get more pics

oh, and not too pricey, preferably something i won't break.
My Gorgeous patient ever suffering girl wants one too, (thats 1 camera between us, not one each) so she will contribute something to the budget, but that also means I have to get something she isn't embarrassed about pulling out of her handbag. Value for money and decent pics are the 2 most important things tho
A quick shifty on Amazon brought this up

Which has some good reviews, but you never know who is talking balls on those sites, so would love some input from you guys.

I have a Panasonic TZ-5 for my point and shoot camera which has 9mp and 10x optical zoom. Now I am quite crap with cameras to be honest as anyone that has seen my pictures will tell you but I can get a reasonable picture with it sometimes

Well I can get a quite good picture if I am outside and it is through the day but it isn't as good at pictures which are indoors or in low light.
This actually may be down to me not reading the destruction's so not altering the settings accordingly but I believe most Panasonic's have the same problems, not good in low / artificial light.

I maintain a crossover camera will be better. Simple enough to use, keep it in auto and point and shoot, or get creative if the mood grabs you.

errrrrr...... I think you may have over estimated my budget here...... as i used to tell one of my exes who had expensive tastes in everything..... i've bought cars for less than that!
That looks like the sorta thing i'm after, seems to be an old model though (amazon only sell used versions.) anyone know the new model equivalent? could it be thisI have a Panasonic TZ-5 for my point and shoot camera which has 9mp and 10x optical zoom.

Something like the fuji S9600 or similar.
Like a Dslr in shape, but smaller, with a full optical zoom and you can mess around with aperaturs and frame rates. take good pictures, but if you cba to mess about it has a good auto mode too.
This model is old though, (cheapish on ebay) but there are newer versions out there.
Can't wait to see that plug btw

You seen the mock up of the plug on the car? got bits of primer on it and stuff, but you get the idea. hope i've got it all right this time lol, although even if this all goes tits up again i'm getting a lot closer with each attempt
I too prefer canon - I'd be looking at a 2-4 year old Powershot/Ixus for peanuts off eBay.....you'd be surprised how many people have to have the very latest model, thereby selling their old-un

Fuji (although very good) have difficulty acquiring subjects (focus) in low light conditions.
