For all those people who missed out on the Kodak offer.

Not as good an offer, but still the cheapest new 2.1 million pixel camera I have seen in the UK!

I don`t know if its any good? Has anyone got one?

Some reviews can be read here:

They don`t seem very impressed with it. But for the price maybe it`s OK

The reviews were for the camera priced at £175 (approx)

What are peoples views, I am not a rich man but want a digital camera with lcd screen.

Anyone seen anything better for about the same price?

Shaun

Dixons are doing an Olympus 2 Mega Pix camera for £149-00 or thereabouts as a special at the mo`. I have seen this camera`s pictures & it is very good. Buy a good make!!!

That one is out of Stock, but I found this one http://www.fujifilm.co.uk/fujidc/fp1300/index.html on Amazon for £135

Anyone got any vouchers?

Shaun

It depends on what you want it for?

1.3 million and its only any good for e-mail and small photo prints

Over 2 million and its ok for 6 x 4 prints

Over 3 million and its good for full A4 prints.

I am not sure if this is true, but you need 3 miilion to get the same quality as 35 mm.

I have the Kodak 3700 with 3.1 million and I would agree

I would recomend a Fuji as I have the Fuji Finepix 4.0i. I believe the true pixels are over 2 million but it is supposed to be equall to 4 million. I first saw the pictures from a student who had one & I loaded them onto my computer, I have one now. The picture & colour are fantastic. I can zoom in a great deal before pixalation starts. I have a couple of 35 MM camera`s & I would say the Fuji I have is a lot better. My friend has a Cannon & that is equally as impresive. It seems a shame the Olympus is out of stock as it was a very good camera. I think anything over 2 million would be good enough for most people. I would not chance under 2 million unless I could see the results.

The quality of the pictures obviously depends not only on the pixel count but also on the quality of the lenses.
http://www.dpreview.com/ is a great site for finding out what the people who bought the camera actually think of it, whereas http://www.megapixel.net/ gives in depth reviews from the critics.

There are samples of pictures taken with the Fuji camera

Here is one

I am impressed with the quality, what do you think?

I think the picture was impresive. These digital camera`s have certainly come a long way. Seems a very good buy to me
