hiyas, i'm going to get my first camera woohoo but i'm still not completly sure which to buy. i've narrowed it down to the Canon A620 or the Fuji F30, i think. i'll be using it mostly for creating high-res textures for 3d, sky panoramas, night shots, close-ups, macro and the occasional trip-snaps. i've read lots of reviews on both of these cameras and overall i think the A620 is the better camera for my needs because the F30 seems to suffer from a bit of fringing?

would a super zoom be better for my needs? maybe a Canon S3-IS or a Kodak P880. my budget could just about stretch to those but i'd have to get less extras if i went with one of them.

should i get the A620 or are there any others i should consider? cheers :)
 
well just ordered this lot for £288

Canon Powershot A620 Digital Camera
Canon ACK-600 Mains Adapter for Canon A610/A620
Ansmann Digispeed 4 Fast Charger + 4 AA 2400
Sandisk 1GB ULTRA II Secure Digital Memory
Canon DCC-300 Carrying Case for Powershot A610/A620
Generic Mini Flexipod

oooo can't wait :)
 
i got a bit confused about the rechargables, the specs on the camera say it uses 2400 but could i use 900 or 2700 or even higher? is that rating for how much charge they hold or how much power? they release?
 
wahey it arrived but missing the 1gb mem card and the ac adapter, hopefully will arrive later but emailed them about it anyway, unlike ocuk you dont get a lot of emails as to whats happening with your order. it took me about 10 pics to switch to manual mode and then about 30 fumbling my way around but i think i understand what all the buttuns do now anyway.
