    What digi cam.

    Heya I wouldnt mind a good digi cam as ive been eager to get one for a while but I didnt really have much use for one if that makes sence :).
    Ive had ones for xmas (stocking fillers) but they havent had the quality of image id prefer.

    Itl be used to taking images and videos (mainly helis)
    Im putting aside £150 for this, not sure whats good at the moment as I dont really follow the digi camera market, which is why im asking here, but ideally I would like a camera which takes nicely balanced images and has a good build quality to it, not necessarily for damage proof but I dislike the feel of cheap a camera etc.

    Thanks everyone.

    A mate recommended to me (as I also want a point and click) the Panasonic TZ-8 or TZ-10 but they are a little rich for my blood at this time... perhaps I should just bite the bullet anyway?!?!

      I'm considering pressing "buy" on a Canon Powershot SX210 IS but they are nearer the £300 mark (plus Canon are offering £30 cashback at the mo).

      I'm also toying with selling my Canon Ixus 750 to help fund it. Trouble is they are only fetching about £70 at the mo but it really is a great little camera. Many of the shots I post on here are shot using it, especially the build shots.

        My experience with Panasonic cameras is that they give soft focus whereas Cannon or Nikon always give sharp focus/ pictures.

        May be someone more knowledgeable than me can give better opinion.

              I have spoken with my friend again as my interest has been re-ignited as my old point and shoot has now died. I am considering 2 options currently the TZ-10 as above or the Samsung WB650

              An interesting review list here though;

                Nice head-to-head review there, Rob. For me it's a close call between the TZ10 and the SX210 IS. Thing is I really don't need GPS.

                I have a colleague who just bought the Canon and he's gonna lend it to me to test out.

                :D
