tbourner Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Would like to replace my ageing Fuji Finepix F401 for something a bit better and newer. So far got the following list: Canon Ixus 80 Sony Cyber Shot W130 Fuji Finepix Z20fd Fuji Finepix F40fd Any reviews on those? Basically looking up to around £130, probably from Amazon cos I've got vouchers! I don't know much about cameras though so I'm going pretty much all on battery at the moment. My finepix is great cos it came with a dock, so when I'm downloading to the PC it's charging the batteries, I didn't want one with AA batteries cos then you have to charge them yourself or keep buying new batteries. A rechargable li-ion is therefore a priority. Preferably if it comes with a charger dock - do they still do that? Or does everyone have card readers now? how much is a card reader? Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I wouldn't go for the Fuji one. I have one and it's pretty crappy - alright enough but I'm sure there are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Canon Ixus are a good range, I have had a couple of these and still use one now. Never liked the Sonys. Fuji are good. Have a look at the Kodaks, thats where my money would go next, a few mates have the Kodaks and the pics they produce are great, they are awsome at action shots, ie snow boarding etc. They also take great shots in nightclubs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'm leaning towards the Canon Ixus 80 at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Got a Panasonic myself, the lens is fantastic. I and friends have had several Ixus, the build quality is the best in your list I think. Sony have lost their way recently with consumer electronics either it's horrendously overpriced or the low end range seems to be shonky and any software with them is dire.

Babe Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I bought Sprog the Fuji Finepix S1000fd - I think it's brilliant. £139 in a bundle with case and memory card, or £107 on its own. You should PM Dave West if you're asking about cameras. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bundle-FinePix-S1000fd-Camera-Memory/dp/B001EL1VDO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1227277901&sr=8-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I looked at that one, I wanted a compact camera that will fit in my pocket though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 OK, probably changing my mind and going for the Finepix F40FD, cos I've read a couple of glowing reviews and it's quite old now so it's pretty cheap. With my £20 vouchers I get the camera and a 2GB card for £80, not bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
