  • Recommend a good value 3mp camera

    Well, gotta have something in here that's not offtopic or pictures of babies and dogs

    Well, as the title says. I know we've covered some of this ground before, but I know some people love giving advice.

    Price range £200 - probably translates to about 250 USD for similar products I guess...

    3 megapixels is apparently quite good.

    Compact Flash preferred I think.

    Optical zoom if possible.

    Ideas?

    Thanks

    Hey Gnep!

    First look here to see what suits you, get an idea of the price and read a thorough review. I like Canon, but everybody has their preferences.
    How can you possibly take anything seriously?
    Who cares?

        ...and if you want more professional reviews go here.

        ...this one is very handy.

        ...or more consumer oriented here.

          For just a bit over that you could get a Minolta Dimage F100 (if you shop around). Very good, stylish and small 4mp 3x zoom camera with full auto or manual controls.

            I heard the Canon A70 is not bad either (I think it is 3 megapixels).
            (dpreview is working on a couple of new reviews of this range of cameras, I believe the A70, F100 are amongst them)

            BelgiumDigital is not bad ( http://www.belgiumdigital.com, but the forums are mainly in Dutch)

                    The F100 has been reviewed by dpreview - bear in mind that at the time the review was written, it cost twice as much as now, so of course the standards it was compared against were higher.
