And you'll get a warranty, which is unlikely on Trademe. pricespy.co.nz Canon A490 or A495 would probably be good. I am a Canon fan though.	Agent_24 (57)

I quite like the facilty that the 430 has which allows one to view through a do da as apposed to the LCD screen, so which is the ones with that?	Cicero (40)

1242526	2011-11-10 22:02:00	Ahh, yes the lower end ones don't seem to have a viewfinder. My A400 does but I hardly ever use it though. Looks like the A1200 is the cheapest to have one. Just make sure if you look at other models you get one with an optical viewfinder. The digital ones are horrible (in my opinion) Of course you should probably read some reviews as well though.

Thank lads. As long as it takes good pics, that will do. The one at Leemings looks good, will have a shufty.	Cicero (40)

1242530	2011-11-11 07:22:00	Good camera for the price point	Lawrence (2987)
1242531	2011-11-11 07:42:00	Good camera for the price point $109 has to be good, and a view finder too, handy on bright days.	Cicero (40)
1242532	2011-11-11 09:53:00	Now proud owner of a NL ............Powershot A1200. Now I will have to do another spin round the Canterbury plains, Bugger. Good choice Ciccy. I just bought two myself, one for me and one for the memsahib. Got a package deal price that included cases and 2GB memory cards. The reviews are very good and I like the use of AA batteries, I have zero faith in lithium-ion rechargeables, they drop dead at the most inconvenient moments. If a company as steeped in photography as Canon can't make a decent camera nobody can! I have been struggling with a Fuji Finepix F610 (that I won in a PCW competition) and from day one it produced under-exposed images. It has a 100+ page manual and I tried everything in it except human sacrifice. They could be gamma, contrast and colour corrected in Irfanview but it was a pain having to process them all. I tried everything but nothing worked, not even upping the ISO from 160 to 400. Like an idiot I then went out and bought a Fuji Finepix J210, but that had the same problem, though not quite as pronounced. It also introduced me to the joys of viewfinder-less photography so that one was pretty hopeless as well, though its exposure performance was a little better. The only good thing about the F610 is its closeup capabilities and I'm keeping it for that. Cheers Billy 8-{) :thumbs:	Billy T (70)
