What digicam?

[penski]

Looking to spend about £150...What's the best out of this little lot?

Pentax Optio 50L - £129.99
Olympus FE110 - £99.99
Sony S600 - £159.99
Canon Powershot A520 + Canon Selphy CP510 Dye Sub Printer - £164.99
Nikon Coolpix L3 - £169.99

I know absolutely nowt about digicams (my current one is a Yamada Astrapix 550...Offer of the day a couple of years ago on a competitors' site... ) so any advice would be great.

Cheers,

What's the most important feature that you want?

Zoom?
Small size?
Macro function?
Manual controls?

The ability to take photos that don't look like those victorian sepia photos that have been 'coloured' (think Cheers titles...)

Macro would be cool...

I've not been into my photography since I was in my early teens...so really need to get stuck back into it.

I added you to MSN, but you weren't around, so I put my views in brief in the post above If you need any more help, give me a shout.

Er...I've been on MSN all night

[email protected], yeah?

[COUGH COUGH COUGH] have the A620 at £189.99 inc. VAT...

Me likey

Looking at bundles elsewhere, [COUGH COUGH COUGH] has it at £210 basic and £265 with:

1gb SD Card, Canvas Case, 4 x AA 2000mah Nimh Rechargable Batteries and Charger + FREE MINI TRIPOD (ZOMGS"""!""!! FRE!"!!!)



With regards to memory - how many pics can you expect a 7mp camera to fit on a 1Gb card?

Lots

Personally i'd get an Ixus. But they're expensive Though they are much more pocket sized, and this is usually really helpful, as you end up taking it out a lot more often.

I have MASSIVE hands (10" thumb tip to pinkie tip stretched, palms are 4.5"x5.5"...I can't believe I just measured that) and find small cameras impossible to use.

I think the A620's the one for me
