Cheap camera?
« on: 20 February 2010, 17:26 »
Hello people, just want you opinions on this camera.

I know its not going to be anywhere near the quality you guys would even look at.

Its intentional use will just be for pics of family, sisters graduation and possibly some of my car  :smiley:

Can any of you she some light on this?

Hmmm, there's a few makes of camera I'd look at, and Hitachi isn't one of them  :undecided:

For a budget point a shoot I'd look at Nikon Coolpix or Fuji Finepix. Best rule is to stick with manufacturers who are known for their products. I don't think cameras are high up on Hitachi's product list.

Thanks for them links, they are more in her price range. The finepix and coolipix seem to be over £100.

I know you get what you pay for, but if there isnt that much to spend, you cant!

If I was on a budget I'd grab a cheap Kodak camera.
