Can anyone suggest cheap(ish) good camera for general use and mini pic taking?

Not sure if they are classed as cheap(ish), but the coolpix ones are pretty fab

Untill you get gunk on the lens, that is

I asked the same in this topic Trevor:

I hope it helps you. I finally bought the Panasonic FZ 20 and for me it´s a really good camera, my last photo is done with it ( http://www.coolminiornot.com/105934 )

greetings

Yeah, the new Panasonic FZ30 is a little ripper too. Should be around £350-400. Not cheap, but it\'s the closest you\'ll get to a D-SLR.

If you want a cheap(ish) proper camera, get a Canon 350D. Badgers nadgers.

@Nano: Such a stunning piece of work. Blows my mind every time I see it....

I\'ve just bought a Nikon Coolpix 7600 within the last few days. Cost me 250.00 US, which ain\'t shabby for a 7.1MP jobbie. Great macro mode too, which is something my camera (Canon Powershot A40) was a little lacking on (it had one, but the focal range was maybe 6 inches. The Nikon seems to be around the 1 inch range).

i think mine is an HP photosmart r507. it\'s £80 and has a super macro which is superb. it\'s not a proper manual camera but seems to have enough settings to cover what i need. this photo was taken with it:

as you can see - no fancy lighting or light tent but the zoom rocks (i wouldn\'t take a final pic in this way). bear in mind photobucket has limited the size.

I use a cannon powershot A75. They take a good pic and have plenty of manual function (Still trying to work them out) The camera cost about $400 Oz. I bought mine with fly by points.
