693918 2008-07-31 23:37:00 Going on a little trip which is also a good time to buy myself a camera, don't have one.

Looking for something that'll take good quality photos maybe 7/8megapixels or so.

Important thing is I want something that'll fit in my pocket, so reasonably slim...

Recommendations?

Sony? Canon? Whats good

Browse the manufacturers sites.

Can't go past this site.
I would choose a big store like Harvey Norman and look for special on any of the good makes.

Looks good - but shop around. Ferrit is not necessarily the cheapest place - they're just retail stores with a web page hosted by Telecom.

I'm sure you could find a better price than that....

EDIT: Oops! Didn't notice that that one was Elive - an Online Store in it's own right. Makes you wonder why they'd bother with Ferrit...

693925 2008-08-02 06:55:00 E-live seems to have the best price. Pricespy's cheapest is $189. pine-o-cleen (2955)

3x zoom is a bit low?

693927 2008-08-02 07:34:00 Canon Ixus www.etown.co.nz Seems a very loe price.

I bought an Ixus two years ago. Large view screen, lovely pics, slim, shirtpocket model. I put an ipod clear cover on the lcd to protect it, and have a thin bag I keep it in just for protection.

The only drawback is its only 3x zoom but you can enlarge digital images so not big deal. The flash isn't strong.
