"Features

Be nice to know what that was ;)

It looks worth the money, but I'll bet good money you can get it cheaper elsewhere.

No - you could get a much better pre-owned one from jessops or the like.

Tip: stick to cameras by camera specialists; Fuji, Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc.

Olympus lenses are tops in the 'biff-camera' market! :wink:

Fuju are the dogs when it comes to digi cameras, if yo can get one, like a finepix, for even near that price,at cash converters etc, rip there hand off... a camera does one job, it takes pictures, yeah you need certain things but dont be swayed by a big list of features,..... if it has a decent lens, which is a lump of glass and nothing else, and a decent chip, then you are already winning, i wouldnt buy a PB, standard,this is great digi camera, ................ but then im biased......

For 70 quid you better hope you bump into a smackhead if u want a camera that doesn't do shite pics

you need to spend at least 180 for a decent new camera

My mate bought one for £80 that is very good! Can't remember the make though. But it takes exellent pictures. That are top quality.
