I’m thinking of investing in a digital camera, can anyone offer me any advice on them? What sort of price can I expect to pay and what is the range on offer?

What are your experiences of digital cameras? What are the pros and cons?

What are your experiences of digital cameras?

I took a picture on one once

Depends on what you want to use it for, if you intend to use it for straightforward "point & shoot" photography then £120 should get you a perfectly good 3.2megapixel one from a brand name like Canon or Olympus (go £150-200 for a few more bells & whistles)

I've got 2 (long story, don't ask) both are 3.2M and suit me just fine, most digital cameras have the facility where you can choose the quality (resolution) of the picture you want to take and many have a video option with sound recording too.

5 megapixel cameras are now a lot cheaper, in fact not much more than a 3.2 but personally I don't think they're necessary for normal pictures unless you want them blown up to poster size

The best word of advice I would offer is to get the biggest memory card you feel comfortable in paying for, I have a 64Mb card in each of mine which will hold approx 120 medium resolution pictures or 40 high res and cost me about £20 at Jessops (great shop btw, p!sses on boots for anything to do with cameras)

If you want to do real professional-grade digital photography then get a digital SLR (much better lens, zoom, focus etc than a normal camera) usually at least 5 megapixels but be prepared to pay £500 for the most basic one 

Yours nerdily,

I bought an Olympus Mju Mini last year. The thing is awesome.
I paid £200 for it. The picture quality is top notch! Here is a web link for the review on my camera. also on here you can select any camera and get a decent review and sample pictures.

I bought an eos 300d dslr used it for a few months and then sold it. Only by an slr if your seriously interested in photography. I then bought an ixus 50 and it is perfect for my needs.
