I don't know much about cameras but I do know it's not all about how many MP there are, for example an expensive 9MP camera can produce better quality pictures then a cheap 12MP camera.
Watched a program a while back, may of been the gadget show (infact i think it was) they were saying there's only so many MP you need before it becomes slightly pointless.

I found this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Casio[....]l-Camera-Optical/dp/B000MVWEHY
Casio camera over the weekend in PC World for £99.99 I thought it was a good bargain until I relized that I might be able to get a 12MP one for a little bit more perhaps.
I will be selling my EX-Z60 btw soon hoping to make some cash towards my next one lol

Boba ive owned 2 Casio camera's now and there quite easy to use,
ive got a Canon Sureshot Z115 at my mothers but thats ancient lol
I was looking at kodak however im sceptical over those as they break easy I had a film one once and it broke bit hacked of cos I never got to use it for snapping pics lol
what are Samsung cameras like?
I need to get rid of my Casio cos myphone is creeping up on it

How much you looking to spend roughly. I have a 8.1 mega pixel Sony CyberShot N1 though that cost me 2 years ago 350.00. Crazy. Think there is a 12mega pixel Kodak in Argos for 129.99 though not sure if Kodak are reliable. I have found Sony Panasonic and Casio the most reliable. Nikon Cool Pix range i find play up alot and so do Pentax. Good luck i will look out for something for you. Jessops tend to be quite cheap.

I forgot to say its also down to quality of lens and processor inside the camera thats counts. Also a larger sensor is better too lets in more light.

about £100 to £150 depending if I can get £60 for my old camera lol
Jessops cost way to much I picked up some sale thing from Merryhell over the weekend Sean and there prices were just OTT for me,

Actually i forgot to mention Samsung and Canon. I once tested a Samsung S830 8 mega pixel camera in Comet. It was 79.99 with 2.7 inch screen and solidly built and it was suprisingly good quality i was shocked. Only bad thing was AA batteries. Alot of their cameras have won awards and top reviews so i would consider them. Cant think of a cheap place for cameras but i will look after work tomorrow afternoon.

do all Samsung Cameras take those batterys I saw that Argos had a good deal on one for £100, but unlike Casio cameras they take Lithium batterys something like phones have, id like a camera with those tbh
ok sean let me know what you see

I'm sure that the size of the MP, is only relevant if you want to print it out on a large scale.
If your only taking holiday snaps, and are going to print them to the normal snap size, then is there really any point in getting a new camera? |

I believe manufacturers use different types of batteries for different types of cameras. The point and shoot these days often tend to be as slim as possible so the only way to power the device is through a chewing gum type battery. The down side of that is when you run out of charge you need to spend 2 hrs or more to recharge.
I use a fujifilm bridge camera (s8000fd) which consumes 4 x AA's at 2700mah, Im not suggesting you buy one of these, but you need to consider how many pictures you take, and if it's more than the amount you can take with one charge you may need to look into AA powered.
And with 12mp you need to have a big memory card (sdhc), if you're printing standard photos in 6" format then 12mp is an overkill.
And more MP doesn't mean you get more light, you need more light for the pictures to become clear. If you have a high mp camera and wish to take moving images without flash, or long distance shots you need a camera that has under 8mp.
