Searching for a camera

[timROGERS]

I am looking for a camera because I have a trip to Morrocco coming up with my school and it'd be nice to be able to take pictures. I have been looking at this Sony camera, but it takes Memory Stick and it would be better if it took SD.

Here are my requirements - can anyone find me something good that costs about £70?:

• Good battery life (preferably uses a proprietary rechargable battery or rechargable AAs)
• Takes a 4GB+ SDHC card
• 7+ megapixels
• Optical viewfinder would be a plus
• Should be made by a good brand eg. Samsung, Nikon, Sony
• At least a 3x optical zoom

Thanks,

Tim

That looks quite good but it doesn't support SDHC. The battery life is also apparently bad. The Sony has what I want, it just uses Memory Sticks which are more expensive - it'd be nice if I could bring like 8GB of storage on my holidays!

EDIT - I managed to get some pictures taken used with the camera. They look good.







Hope it helped...

Awesome stuff Matt, just ordered the top Samsung camera, it's a good deal and a good beginners camera too by the looks of things. Haven't had a new camera since I was 5 and I wanted one my for my French trip this year but I didn't have £100 to spend on one but at that price it's a good deal, bought a 4GB SD Card too

Would +rep but can't
