Which Digital Camera?

[mr tommo]

hi,

Im looking at buying a new digital camera. My dad's a photographer so i have access to his canon Digital SLR's when i need to use them.

However, when i need something a bit more compact i usually borrow his Canon Powershot a70 (i think), its a couple of years old and hardly gets any use at all. I have been using it recently and tbh wasn't very impressed with it. This could be due to the fact that im expecting a lot more after using his DSLR's.
I was quite unimpressed at the 3x optical zoom, as i felt it wasn't enough, but maybe thats just the norm and again im expecting too much.


So just wondering if there are any compact digital camera's which stand out at the moment?

Budget is lower side of £400.

Thanks, Tom

Thanks for the input guys, think your right about trying a DSLR.

Been looking around and spoken to my dad and i heading towards having the Canon 350D w/ lens for £460 ish.

Thats what i will probably go for unless you can really put me off it

Another advantage is ive got access to Loads of lenses from my dads studio, which will save a few £££

I can always borrow my gf's new Fuji Z1 for days trips where i wouldnt take my 350D.

So, am i doing the rigth thing?
