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...

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370. If however you require an external SSD for portability and quick data transfers and have a budget of less than $200 the Samsung T7 1TB model is currently on a limited time deal at just $190, it's lowest price in nearly three months. The deal ends today so you better hurry if you need one (purchase link below). The T7 weighs in at just 72 grams meaning it should be fairly easy to carry around helping in the portability department. Via its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface the T7 promises sequential read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and writes of 1000 MB/s. It is also fairly robust with a drop protection of up to 2 meters, though bear in mind that this is not waterproof. For that you will have to choose the rugged T7 Shield. The technical specifications of the Samsung T7 1TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Code (1TB) MU-PC1T0T / MU-PC1T0H Interface USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Dimensions (W × H × D) 85 × 57 × 8 mm Weight 72 g Sequential Read Speed Up to 1,050 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 1,000 MB/s Drop Resistance Up to 2 m (6.6 ft) Encryption AES 256-bit hardware encryption Operating Temperature 0°C to 60°C Non-Operating Temperature -40°C to 85°C Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Shock Resistance 1,500 G, duration 0.5 ms, 3-axis (non-operating) Vibration Resistance 20–2,000 Hz, 20 G (non-operating) Get it at the link below: Samsung T7 Portable SSD, 1TB External Solid State Drive, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray: $189.98 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      I just wish they would put more love into Virtual Desktops. There is just so much more they could do.

      Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).

      It actually does the same exact thing as yours, 7.1 virtual surround over headphones. From the product page: "Experience sound that surrounds you with 7.1 virtual surround, delivering a wider, more immersive soundstage for movies, games, and music." So both of them are two channel, with 7.1 virtual surround that only work in Headphones mode.
