Recommend handbag sized digital camera

[Uncle C]

Must be small and light, but with good lens. 5mil pixels is fine. Something up to about £130.
Also best price if you know it.
Thanks

If you want small and cheap, I have one of these. Vivitar Vivcam 5150. Think it was about £60 (it was a pressie). It fits in the palm of my hand, and takes perfectly good quality photos, & video clips, and is very simple to use.

we have a canon ixus 75 for just chucking in the nappy bag and on hand for those quick moments in the park or whatever.

not sure if this is the best price but it is this one. very happy with it.

Yep was looking at the Ixus 70 - very good reputation. Anyone know of the Sony W55?

Seconded, have the ixus 65 and am well happy with it, served me very well in Oz and easy to carry round

canon thing...its excellent but Bex has it at Uni so i hevent seen it for months

I bought a Samsung, excellent pictures and easy editing tools.

I have a Fuji Finepix , and its an excellent bit of kit!

 

[Tummy Burger]

Fuji Finepix Think its F30 or F 31. Best for the money, although the Canon's are good also. Don't bother with a Nikon unless you are getting a DSLR

i have an ixus 70 and it's fantastic !!! you can get for 117 on amazon i think and they are great, i've had mine about 1 month and i love it.

previously i've had nikons but the software on this pisses all over it.

i got some advice from an independent shop and he said canons rule the digital camera market, everything about them is good, he also said that for picture quality check sony's carl zeiss lenses and also panasonic leica lenses.

don't be fooled by megeapixels either, aparently thats only usefull if you're making a1 posters, always go for quality of lense!!!

Samsung NV3 is cheap, under 100 squids, tiny, 7mp and takes amazing photos. Has one of those fancy anti-shake things too so you will never get blurry shots again! I'd reccomend it....

We always get Fuji cameras and find them very good.pretty reasonable as well.

 

[perseus]

Have any of these small cameras got spot focusing? Looking for this to replace my broken Pentax. My new camera did not have this and does not fit in the pocket either.

I've got a Fuji 9M pixel which is good but my wife's casio exsilim EX -Z1050 is SUPERB - dead light and takes great pix and it's about (I haven't checked) £130 on Amazon
Highly highly recommended - and it's 10M pixels too so you get fab detail

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

All those tiny cameras are all well and good, but Uncle C is after a handbag sized camera. That's gotta be 12" x 8" minumum I would have thought.
