CJ Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 My camera has packed up and i need to buy a new one. I dont need a really wucker pukka model as the majority of my pics will be normal holiday type snaps but I will be needing it to take pics of houses that can then be put onto a web site. Seeing as I am quite a meany and currently unemployed, I don't want to spend a lot of money and was wondering what you clever folks thought of this camera here?

Had the previous model of that years ago I believe. Certainly looked like that. It's ok for £20! How's it going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gord R Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I picked up a Samsung S830 yesterday to use when i cant be bothered lugging my D70 around. Not a bad spec 8MP , high ISO ratings etc with manual mode. £80 new which i didnt think was bad. So if your after a real budget model CJ may be worth considering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Second hand Sony. I have tried Nikon and Fuji digital cameras, and both gave a LOT of trouble and poorer results than a cheaper model Sony, which, aside from me dropping it in a cows drinking trough, has been 100% trouble free.

heartworm Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Second hand Sony.

How did it survive the trough? My old Kodak camera survive being thrown into a bucket of water, unfortunatly my new phone at the time didn't :@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I sent it back to the Sony repair centre (wasn't working at all) and they fixed it, and returned it FOC, which I found very refreshing. I can't recall ever having a Sony product that was less than perfectly reliable, or that didn't perform superbly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well, apparently there was only one in stock and that has now gone Things are good thank you. After settling into my new role of bar person / table waiter / entertainer / singer (dont ask), the season went fairly quickly. I am now settling down to a life of R&R over the winter period before things start again in the middle of April. Now, whether that will be at the same place as this year or whether I start something on my own is yet to be decided.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 I hear what you are saying with the Sony Chris and will keep my eyes open to see if there are any 2nd hand available. There certainly wont be here in Kos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
