I use a Fuji Finepix S7000 12 million pixel (6 million recorded!) currently retailing about £300.00 but can be bought cheaper on Ebay. The W1 is a good camera as well and a quick search lists retail prices of around £228.00
The S7000 runs on normal AA batteries (unlike the other Fuji ones I have) and can also take a 4gig microdrive or up to a 1 gig compact flash card.
I have always prefered the Fuji cameras but I do own an old model Sony that takes floppy discs but also takes an age to down load the pictures.
The W1 is a good camera but i personally would choose a Fuji everytime. (Just my opinion of course!)
With the S7000 you can also add different filters and lenses to make a more proffessional type of camera
Don't know what the Sony's like Michael, but I have the Canon Digital Ixus400 which is brill. That one is 4 megapixels, but there is now a 5 megapixel version of the same camera. Surprise, surprise its called the Canon Digital Ixus 500 Other than the resolution, I believe its identical.
and me just to make matters worse,i use an olympus camedia......... so sony,fuji,canon,nikon and now olympus........
think we have most of the major brands in there ... personally i think about 5 million pixels is ample,and as always buy the best you can afford at the time...
captain i have a 3.2 sony cybershot and i thing they are good easy to use and to play with , only think about this model moving shots hard to take i go motor racing and it is a nightmare, but this is the only fault with it, the flash is like a floodlight .. Lee
Try your local duty free shop, someone must be travelling you know. I work at Newcastle Airport in the duty free and have just bought the new fuji s3500. I could not buy cheaper anywhere than the price at work, and I got a free 64mb card and case for only £125.
Ok its only 4m pixels, but what more do you need, and its a 10x optical zoom and a 4x digital.
But we all remain brand lloyal, wich is why we all drive fords
I own a sony 3.2 million pixle camera and get Out of this world pictures when printing up to A3 or printing borderless A4 on a Epson R200. Once I have printed one of my pictures at top spec i challenge anyone to tell the difference between that and a digitaly printed image. If you are going to be constantly printing Poster size images then go fro a 5 million pixle camera if not then a 3.2 / 4 mp camera will certanly be good enough.
Try www.pixmania for a decently priced camera. if you want something that will do as a accident witness then argos are doing cheap cameras which are just up to the job for £50..
Try the SONY CyberShot DSC-P73 @ £152 for superb results or if you want to push the boat out, instead of going for the W1 try the CANON EOS 300D + EF-S18-55 The 300D is the digital reflex accessible for all kind of users. Solid and complete, with an amazing 6.30 Megapixels CCD, a DIGIC chip and a 1/4000... Basicaly it is a digital SLR camera, I have the equivilent 35mm standard film one and every picture is perfect. Retails at about £640

well, not really a camera, but not a million miles away from one.
