Brick with a Lens

Advantages: Takes loads of pictures
Disadvantages: Huge and Clunky

This digital camera looks like a brick with a lens! It is very big, very heavy and clunky. Low resolution but in it's time was the best in it's class. The best thing about this camera was that you could use a rotating PCMCIA Type III Hard Disk Memory ...

Say Cheese! Buy one of these!

Advantages: Small, great pictures, lots of modes
Disadvantages: Small zoom. Battery life? Control joystick

This is my first digital camera which I acquired a couple of years ago. It's about 11cm long, 5.5cm tall and 3.5cm wide. That means it is pretty small and can fit in your jeans pocket (unless you have tight jeans). The camera is powered by a proprie ...

Great features and a really sturdy all rounder for the PowerShot

Advantages: Great all rounder and entry level digital compact
