camera please

You should know better then...

And I know that the lenses on Digital Cameras are fine for the job .

Yep they are fine for the job. Just pointing out that P&S lenses (which are often injected moulded plastics) will not resolve the full sensor resolution without bleeding into nearby pixel sites so there is no need to get carried away with MP... while trying to avoid blanket statements.

Anyway... I've had enough of the bitching. I'll come back when everyone is in a better mood.

I'm happy but thanks for stopping by

Yup, if you don't mind the odd axial and lateral chromatic aberration, vignetting, and blurred corners. Or is that due to the sensors warping, with wrong positioning, less sensitive photosites on the corners and misaligned micro-lenses above the IR filter? Jeez I've never thought of that...

I recently bought a Panasonic Lumix for £99 and am very happy with it- has a Leica lens which someone said was good.

my old camera is a canon powershot a60 which has a massive 2mp and is like a brick. now although its only 2mp it takes cracking pictures.

i was thinking of this:

Blimey..... I paid £239 for my Lumix TZ7 in October. Which model is yours?

Cracking good camera (metal body, 12x Leica zoom lens etc) which I'd recommend to anyone, but not what the OP is looking for.

Mrs Jabba has a 7mp Sony Cybershot which is ace as a P & S camera

Brilliant small camera, my dad got one and I almost felt tempted to tell him it was broken and he would need to buy a new one while I disposed of it safely... The lack of manual control stopped me from doing it

And neither does a person that is spending £80 or less on a camera , your average Joe in the street wouldn`t even notice any problems . Buy a decent quality brand camera and you will reduce your chance of any problems . I notice this stuff being spouted about but nobody is actually pointing the finger at any specific camera at the moment , that would be of more help than pointing out any potential problems that MIGHT be there .

Having said that I have always favoured a Digital Camera that has a good set of optics on it , I still use a Sony DSC-F505 with a Carl Zeiss lens and it is a mere 2.7 MP but takes a cracking picture .
