At a wedding party earlier this year I was very impressed when a friend took a picture of me using her new digital camera. Not impressed because the picture of me looked nice, but impressed because my friend is a dizzy blonde and not very technically minded to say the least.
Well of course I had to keep up with the jones's and if she can use one then so could I.
Out came the catalogues (and my husbands wallet) and off I marched to Argos to purchase the Polaroid PDC2070. Very nice indeed, 120 pounds which included a leather wallet, picture software, USB leads and a 64mb memory card.
Now being a typical women I couldnt get the camera out of the box quick enough to have a play with my new toy taking pictures of the dog, my husband, the house etc etc. But then I realised I could zoom in 3 times and so the pictures became more detailed (I wont tell you what I was focusing on though).
I was so proud of the new purchase showing all the family the LCD display and explaing how the picture could be lightened/darkened/resolution improved/videocam facility/editing facility etc etc.
However, a few weeks later we went on holiday and befriended a group of people. One of the gents there got his camera out which could do a great deal more than mine and also looked much prettier (probably cost a great deal more also). I was a bit embarrassed with my measly camera and suddenly the urge to take pictures disappeared.
Now dont get me wrong, I am very pleased with my camera but only because I am considered to be a beginner. If you are looking for something a bit more professional then this is not it.
On a higher and final note, it is excellent value for money and I think it is the cheapest deal around considering what you get free with the camera.

I bought the same camera with the same argos deal lol. It's OK to good, given the price. Maybe it's worth 3-4 stars in my opinion. Nice review. ~ Amazoco
