Compact with HD Recording
on: November 28, 2010, 22:41:41 PM
I need to buy a camera for a family member for christmas but im stuck on what to get.

Budget is around £100-150, so far i found this one:

http://www.jessops.com/online.store/products/77438/show.html#features

It has 720p movie recording, is this feature anygood on a camera? Also, how do i calculate the needed memory size i.e x time = x amount of MB/GB used.

Also any recommendations ?

Thanks

At £162 its on the outside of your budget, (a little over)

But the panasonic Lumix TZ8 is a really nice camera, thinking of picking one up as a compact...

We tried one of them along side the W270 when we were in John Lewis, Its a lot slower at taking snaps, and the colours werent quite as nice.

Get yourself to John Lewis and have a play with a few.

Ill have a play, my now-ex GF had the TZ7 and really liked it... also has the benefit of the extra zoom, which will be handy
