Digi Camera... A little advice..

POSTED BY: Disco 2 weeks, 16 hours ago

I recently posted a request re; new digi camea (crica £150).

I now need some suggestions/ideas as we need to buy one on tuesday. (either instore or online!). We had the TZ1 but are now looking for a new one.

Max budget is £150 as above, and it needs to be "wide angle" friendly as it to take pics of our pub/bar which is long (rather than short if you know what i mean)...

If you suggest one, can you please give a link too so I can read up on this today and tromorrow and make a decision. Our budget is not that big, but atm its all we can afford, but by all means, post suggestions upto £175/£200 as they should be codes about anyway for the likes of Currys, etc.

Is it better to have a better optical zoom or a higher megapixel spec?

What size of camera are you after? Have a look on cameras.co.uk for a breakdown of the different types and loads of different reviews.

with £150, we're looking for summit around size of a TZ1 (card format not important at this stage!)

I'm looking for one too, max about £125, found this Panasonic FS15. Seems the silver one is over £160 but the black one is £125.

I'd recommend either the Fuji F70EXR:

Its also much thinner than your current camera (by 13mm)

Or something a little cheaper is the Samsung WB500:
