Not sure what to get. Whittled my choices down to these two and can't make up my mind:

I am an amuter photogapher and really want a good quality camera that is both versitile and practical. Both are in my price range, so which one to go for???

I'm not a digi cam geek, nor have I read the specifications, but the silver ones looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cooler.

Screw that. The only thing the Nikkon has on the Fuji is the build quality.

Anyways, just found the Fuji for £230 - which is a full £50 cheaper than in Dixons in Chester. So I could buy another 256MB of memory with the difference!!!

Yay!

Don't take it to heart Mike, I love you really. (Though not in the same way Rage does :047: )

Silver is for people that drive Mercedes C class cars. Gays basically.

You wanna go Nikon all the way. I studied photo for years in college and have used Nikon's for the last 15 years. Currently have the D70 and no complaints. Quality product, built to last.

hmm ... here in the u.s. pink is for gays. I'll have to check local regulations if I ever travel abroad.

I've noticed.

He seems to have an unhealthy fascination with butt pirates. Wonder what that means? :047:

Robert, don't buy from Dixon's, you'll get ripped off.

I brought my digi cam off ebay (buy now option). Take a look (search for a specific model to compare prices). I gaurantee you will get it cheaper :019:

Ebuyer.com, comet and dabs are all excellent options to buy from, dixons and currys charge top $$$$

Robert

cheers guys. Ihad a look around and Dabs are cheaper than Ebay/currys and dixions and ebuyer*!!!

I am going to break the habbit of buying Nikons and go with the Fuji I think. For £10 you can extend the warrenty for another 2 years.

*Didn't expect that TBH.
