Budget Digital

#1 Post by Cormdogg »

Could you get a decent digital camera for about €100 that doesnt require external, (shop bought) batteries? Id only be using it for fishing and maybe a few holiday pics

Just bought a Fuji Z33WP for €156 and it's pretty good. Especially the WP = Water Proof. It has 10MP and it'll also take pretty good movies.

Good pictures and solid enough to throw in the glovebox -

its no longer available on amazon but the next model up seems good and also has Sony battery (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Cybershot- ... ce_title_3)?
