[laura_g]

There loads of different makes to look at.

Play.com, Amazon and 7day shop.

How much do you want to spend?

[laura_g]

bout £70 max just wanted to know because this one is a 12mega pixel but wanted to know if it was worth gettin or not

[David]

Don't go by the megapixel rating

[laura_g]

Don't go by the megapixel rating

how come?

[Ryan]

Don't go by the megapixel rating

never a truer word spoken.

sadly most seem to only be worried about this.

[don55]

cos thats jsut the size of the image, nothing to do with quality at all

[Shellz]

Don't go by the megapixel rating

Damn!

The Guy in Jessop's told me to go by that! :(

[Luke]

It's not all about mega pixel.

Digital and Optical Zoom, Focus Aperture and Focal lengths are important.

[laura_g]

so is it the optical zoom that you look out for?

edit: ok thank you luke and everyone else

[Luke]

Obviously knows nothing......that's good lol!

[don55]

ccd sensor ?

[Ryan]

so is it the optical zoom that you look out for?

optical zoom is FAR more important than digital for IQ in my experience.

Mega pixel is only really important if blowing image up (most cameras now dont come with anything less than 6-7 anyway which is perfectly fine for most people)

Low light settings, etc... so much that makes or breaks a camera, not just MP as most retarded salesmen will try and fob you off with.

i got my missus a fuji F10 6.3mpx and its brilliant, might be over your budget tho.

panasonic lumix/casio exilm ranges can be very good and got cheaply.

dont bother worrying to much, alot of clubs photography is banned other than official press.

space take most peoples cameras off them, i was nearly thrown out of pacha, and also amnesia is also frowned upon.

argh ok then, thank you for your help anyway its appreciated was gona risk it with my camera but dont think il bother now

[Ryan]

girls can tend to get away with things more imo...

especially in clubs.

[neilandhisvtr]

thats just daft, why shouldnt you take pics of your holiday..

[Ryan]

thats just daft, why shouldnt you take pics of your holiday..

clubs in ibiza are ridiculous at times mate.

Alot have in house togs who charge silly prices for those keyring shit things etc....
so you are banned so you buy them and make the club more $$$$

also they worry about pics being released of people doing drugs etc... as its damaging to the rep lol

[laura_g]

its the closing down parties il be goin to so they might be abit more chilled out and that all bein well

[neilandhisvtr]

ah censorship at its finest then.. lol

[laura_g]

haha, il just get a cheap camera then no great lose it i loose it then

[Ryan]

ah censorship at its finest then.. lol

yes indeed, working in the industry though have to be so careful what i send out to media releases...

so why alot of clubs abroad are so strict at times.

[laura_g]

is it really that bad lol ?

[Ryan]

is it really that bad lol ?

as i said it was when i went, it varies though ive known girls who got away with alot.
