[UK] Looking for a slim digital camera for around


Recommended Posts

My sister is looking for a slim digital camera for around ?105.

I have come up with the Sony CyberShot W35 for ?110 (from Ebuyer UK) but I thought I'd better ask here for more options.

Any suggestions?

If she is willing to pay a little bit more (?129)

They are both 7.2 is seems.

Is the Casio Exilim EX-Z11 digital camera (?130) better than the Sony CyberShot W35 (?110)?

I'd personally go for Canon. And yes, Megapixels means nothing. A 5MP would do her just fine. It's just a few of my friends have that camera i mentioned and they all love it, so i'm just going by that.

Don't go for Casio. If you can, Canon, Lumix (Panasonic) is the way to go. Sony is ok.

That is what I thought.

Don't go by Megapixels either, a good lens is much more important than MPs. Canon and Nikon are great, Panasonic is good.

Yeah, I know that, but they're both decent makes, both 7.2 MP and both in the ?110 - ?130 so I assumed they'd be decent cameras.

Saw this and thought you were looking for a part:laugh:h:

Samsung NV3

lol that is awesome.

Also, the Samsung NV3 looks decent as is around the ?105 I was looking for. It's certainly another option.

canon all the way.

Could get the Canon PowerShot A520 for that price but it's not very thin and only 4 MP, but then again on the other hand, it comes with a free compact photo printer. Still, I don't think the A520 is an option.

I got a Canon IXUS 70 (PowerShot SD1000 to our friends over the pond). It's slim (20mm) and much better than the Casio Exilim S600 I had before (which broke on its own accord). It costs a little more though... I think you can get it online for ?130. It's got much better quality in general.

I am thinking of getting the IXUS...but it is ?190 on Play.com!

It is ?125 on Amazon though...which is surprising because Play.com are dirt cheap, it must be a pricing error.

Yeah Martyn I got that ixus 70 its really,really good and I whole heartedly reccommend the OP to buy it. It's just so awesome after you play around with it for a week. Its first impressions were dissapointing but then I tweaked the settings and got amazing results! It also has a ton of features which you won't find on any camera line in the same price range from another brand such as colour tweaking, face detection. The video on it also suprisingly good. Get the ixus 70 from amazon just like I did, you'll love it. The thing is also amazingly tiny, pictures don't give it justice.

Yeah I am considering getting one because I think it will come in handy when I go off to Uni. I like it because it is small and I could just slip it in my pocket when I go clubbing or something.

I have been reading a few reviews on the net as well...and I am very impressed! Now I just need the funds...

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section.
