Seph If you're going for that sort of camera I think i'd go for this model. I'm thinking of getting this one myself as I can't be bothered faffing about with SLRs anymore. Seems like a good price. camera

Most of the reviews praise the battery life.

| Re: Which camera would you recommend?
My fuji has rubbish battery life but I just carry a spare set; it's not the end of the world and for the 10x optical zoom at those prices I'd say it's an absolutely livable trade-off.
The 5600 is incredible value, and it's hard to tell from those links what it's missing by comparison with the 5700 beyond just resolution.
Hmmm, http://www.ciao.co.uk/product_compar...mpare=Compare+
the cheaper one actually has a slightly bigger maximum aperture but a much less good minimum focussing distance. The display's a good big bigger on the more expensive one, and the resolution is higher.
All together I reckon that justifies the higher price. I vote S5700
Note that the price in my link is rather better than in yours, too

thanks | youll be hard pushed to get a DSLR for £200, youll be looking at getting lucky on an auction for 3 year old technology eg the 300D http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Canon-Digital-...QQcmdZViewItem | |

I'd have thought you'd be able to get used D-SLR's for under £200 now though, since you can buy bottom end new ones for about £400 these days.

Having to use another button in order to alter aperture rather than a dedicated control? horrible high iso noise? slow buffer? shitty plasticy build quality? it was my first DSLR but I was pretty glad to see the back of it when I replaced it with a 20D
as for prices, that was going by ebay which is a fairly accurate price guide. That, and youd probably not want a DSLR thats probably had close to its shutter-life in actuations. pissing money away really | |
