I am looking into getting a point and shoot to use alongside my camera for meals out and thinks like that, so what do you think to this one. Anyone can recommend anything else.

My wife just bought one of these

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-PANASONIC-Lumix-DIGITAL-CAMERA-DMC-FX01-PINK-1GB_W0QQitemZ180098121818QQcategoryZ31388QQssPageN ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

in pink (of course!). It really is quite good and the macro mode will focus at 5cm!

It also has a much wider zoom than many point and shoot cameras, which is good for close range grpups of people.

Hope that helps

Mixed reviews on this model Sue..:(

Also not sure I like the idea of the internal memory and only 1Gb of card space bought extra..:|

Quote from the spec sheet..
Internal memory (approx 10MB) and xD-Picture Card" (capacities currently up to 1GB available to buy seperately)

Certainly a let down with this model IMO.:thumbsdown:

Would your budget raise a little and try the Canon Ixus range, Great camera, very good reviews..:)

Have a look here (http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=439213&source=froogle). £170 gets you a far better spec camera Sue.:thumbs:

Hmmmm 170 is a bit more than I was wanting to spend but I will have to see what we have left the end of the month, see if it will go a bit further

The Fuji F30 image quality is miles ahead of any IXUS Camera. It's also a compact high ISO class leader, by a long way :)

xD memory cards are now available in 2GB sizes.

I must admit to liking the Fuji compacts Sue.

OK then, so after some more looking around I still arent sure what to get. Like the look of quite a few, mainly those mentioned about by everyone.

Any more help guys?

I've used every other ixus ever made and am currently using the 850IS. My next p&s camera will probably be an ixus. My reasons are silly.

I can't believe they still have them in stock at amazon. They must have bought loads. Amazing camera, unbelievable price. I rememebr buying 256mb memory cards for the same price not so many years ago.

I bought a canon compact in Canada a few years ago because it took CF cards and because I have dozens of CF cards it meant I never had to shell out for new media.

I have looked at the casio Z10 zoom and that looks good...Ian
