Shonky pooh-bah Registered: 12/01/2002 Posts: 2009 Loc: Brisbane, Australia	I've been tasked with getting one for my brother. Criteria Must be A$300 (~US$230 / UKP120) or less (maybe a little more since I'm in Singapore and might be able to get a better deal at Simlim or Funan etc) Brand new Needs to include charger/batteries (or allow for NiMH and a charger) Memory size isn't a big deal (prefer SD or CF for price though) 3 or 4 megapixels is fine 2x, 3x or 4x optical zoom is fine Doesn't need to be mega small Simple to use. Most cheap cameras are auto-everything anyway I like Canons. Seem to be good value for money generally. A510 maybe? Suggestions? I'm not really sure where to start. When I bought my camera there were really only two choices since I wanted mega small. Thanks _________________________ Christian #40104192 120Gb (no longer in my E36 M3, won't fit the E46 M3)

However an SD200 (Ixus 30) runs about A$415 back home, so I think I'd be pushing to get one in Singapore under the A$300 mark. I will have a look though - it's pretty good camera. Low light isn't the greatest but from the tour I just went on, everyone's digital camera seemed to struggle in low light. _________________________ Christian #40104192 120Gb (no longer in my E36 M3, won't fit the E46 M3)
