    im going to buy a camera but i have no idea whats good lol. I would like a digital camera - 5< mp, has to be small (to carry in pocket etc) - and stylish. One thing i hate about cameras that i have used in the past is the time they take to take the photo.. eg you press the button down and they take the photo a second later.. is this the same with ALL cameras :/ So if theres a camera that takes "quick" photos then recommend me that one (with those specs ^^) :D. Price - around £240 including VAT could go higher (v. max £300)

    I looked at the Sony Cybershot DSC-T7 5.1mp but i don't really know a lot about it.

    any suggestions?

    thanks in advance
    Ed

    I have a Kodak EasyShare Z740 Zoom... [​IMG]

    It's a cracking camera IMHO - with 10X optical zoom and 5X advanced digital zoom.
    You can [now] buy it for a little over £160 (or less), which is a bargain IMHO, coz I paid £230 for mine just last summer :eeek:

    I also bought a Series 3 Camera Dock for it... [​IMG]


    Unfortunately... whilst it is indeed a small camera... you won't be able to fit it into your pocket [properly at least] - primarily because of its shape. You'll need one of the flat cameras if fitting it in your pocket is a necessity. But it's a shame to have to ignore funky little cameras like this one, just coz you want to slip it into your pocket :(

    these are just happy snaps from our first pub golf session... obviously no tripod and just automatic settings.
