I've got a digital camera right now but basically - it's crap. It's a 1.3MP camera that runs on 2 AAA batteries which go flat after about 20 flashes and it can't see a thing if it's not daytime.
I'm looking for something on a fairly low budget of £130 GBP (there's a fair few on MicroDirect in that range).
Things it needs aside from the expected built-in flashlight etc:
* Optical Zoom (at least x2)
* Auto-white balance
* Video, with sound
* 3MP or above resolution
* Built-in rechargeable battery - not some stupid AA/AAA stuff
Basically, I'm not fussed too much about high resolutions since most of the pics I take just get scaled down in photoshop/GIMP and put online.... I favour good response to changes in light conditions over higher megapixels.
Anyone had any good/bad experiences with cameras who can make some recommendations? I'll be taking pics in bright sunlight and also in busy nightclubs and stuff
(Other things need over the next 10 months: Replace Mac-mini with Macbook or alternative notebook I can take away; Damn good quality rucksack but someones already buying me that in May).
Cheers,
Chris
