Digital Cameras...

It's time to replace my flakey 1 mega pixel camera with something new. My budget is around £120 and the ability to use it as a webcam is prefered. Just looking for opinions really.

Oh yeah... Im limited to Comet.. lol

Re: Digital Cameras...

I'd buy a separate webcam, they're not that expensive - £8.99
http://www.comet.co.uk/cometbrowse/p....do?sku=370436

As for the camera, I'd go for the Canon PowerShot A550 - £109.99
http://www.comet.co.uk/cometbrowse/p....do?sku=380903

or the Sony DSC-W35 + Free Sony Printer - £119.99

Re: Digital Cameras...

Shame you're limited to Comet. For just a little bit more money I'd go for the Fujifilm S6500fd. Unfortunately, this is not available in Comet.

£146 from PC World:

Another vote for Canon


I still have my old A70. Great camera, although not many MP by today's standards.
