New Compact Digital Camera £200-250
 

Dear all,

I want to buy my friend a digital camera. It needs to be a compact design. They're not into photography yet so it will probably be used on holidays most of the time.

Please give me your advice.

Much appreciated.

Get a canon! :wink:

Can't go wrong then..

Do you know of any particular model?

I use Canon as a mature photographer, but those sometime when I am not in the mood, I have Panasonic DMC-FX07. excellent mini digi cam :)

I've got an IXUS 850IS along my 5D, and it's great for a compact. The 28mm-equivalent wide-angle + IS is great for partypics etc. 8)

The Ixus series are one of the best, MartijnGizmo uses it too as said..

Thanks for your advice everyone. I;ll look at the Ixus and DMC-LX2

I bought myself a Casio Exilim Z1000 (10,2 mp, 2,8" screen) for €350 (that's with a protective case + 1GB memory included), I really like it!! :D

From Jessops.com bought Pentax Optio A20 10 megapixels Half price at £199

sure they will be very happy with it.

Thanks

It's not so generous, there are 3 people paying 50 and 6 paying 10 each.

He did fly to Berlin for my birthday too.
