Matt H Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 If you do go in for another look, check out the £100ish Panasonics. There was a button on top to turn the front screen on? I think I might be tempted with a samsung as, I've found the PL100's big brother, the PL150 which has the better zoom. http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/camera-camcorder/digital-cameras/compact/EC-PL150ZBPSGB/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 If you're after a pocket cam I've seen amazing results with the Fujifilm Finepix F80EXR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I think that's the camera my mum bought my sister for crimbo last year - I'm certain of it. I actually choose it for her as she wanted something with a great zoom. I've just googled it and it's actually rather cheap now, it was £200 last year - I thought it might be out of price range... umm, spanner in the works now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really good mate, easy to use too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 If you're after a pocket cam I've seen amazing results with the Fujifilm Finepix F80EXR. Yup, the bigger lens and excellent EXR sensor will give excellent pictures. Seeing as the budget has increased how about one of these two: Panasonic with 8x zoom Slim and sexy Canon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as the budget has increased how about one of these two: Panasonic with 8x zoom Slim and sexy Canon lol, the budget technically hasn't increased, I just thought I 'might' splash out on the better version of the PL100 to get the front screen and the better zoom..... But now Gaz has reminded me of the fuji my mind is in turmoil again as I know it is a great camera. I'm probably getting ahead of myself though. My GF will never used 10x zoom, she's more of a point and click, which is why the front screen appealed to me, and maybe if I went for the PL150, I could use it myself...? The problem I have, is you should see the number of other things on her christmas list!! I made the mistake of going mental the first 2 xmases we were together! The foots in the door, but she's still expecting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
