Ten10 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'd say the price is about right for what they're offering. I've never come across this particular brand. But it has all the usual bells and whistles so unless you find better for the same price I don't see why you shouldn't buy it. See if you can find a review about it as specs don't tell you anything about the usability. Which will make the difference between a great camera and a crappy one.

McPhee Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Try Sainsburys, some half decent models in there from Fujifilm, Panasonic and Canon for around the £50 mark. They might be worth considering over this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gio001 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Spec's sound ok but it's an unknown brand to me & build quality may be meh!! As mentioned earlier try & find some reviews on the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Amazon are good for cameras. Try searching there and there are plenty of better ones than that for similar prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
