Title: Digital Cameras
Post by: Mr.Burns on June 06, 2011, 11:49:55 am

I need to get a decent quality digital camera, one that is small enough to sling in my bag when im out and about (so not a digital SLR thing), any suggestions? there are so many about i dunno where to start. Any advice would be helpful.

Something for the holiday thread might be a good place to start?

I have just bought a samsung wb600 this weekend. It has x15 optical zoom, 24mm wide angle lens and is still compact enough to sling in a bag.

Some reviews below:

What clinched it for me though was being able to get one from the Argos store on ebay as refurbished with a 1 year warranty for £94 including postage.
