Anything campervan related my boys love! especially VW's

My little one was devistated when Zac got a new Animal T-shift with the old Vdub on the front..



(they did not have his size) we have since been able to get him one though which is his no2 fave T... the no1 is his cool as a cucumber T (he loves cucumber lol)





Oh i should add........ I got one too lol

I need some camera advise......i'm thinking of getting a digi camera as though i love my aps, it's really difficult to get the films for it now. I havn't got much spare money at the mo, so something around £50 is what i'm looking for. It needs to be really basic & not difficult to upload photos.
Any help would be much appreciated, as i don't really know what i'm looking at

I think this is the one my son has and he has no problems with it.. (he's 7 but got it when he was 6.5 (Christmas))

This one in my opinion you really cant go wrong with! its quick also..

This fully automatic model is incredibly easy to use, even if you have never picked up a digital camera before.

I have used canon's for years.. in fact I think I'm on about camera no6 from canon and not because they broke just upgraded from much like the one above but in film format as digital was not about. then over to film SLR and then digital SLR i'm looking at a new one at the moment but dont have the cash

The thing with digital camera's is to look for the shutter lag.. in short.. think of the camera on your phone.. the lag is the time from you pressing the button to the picture being taken.. for example a camera with poor lag you click and you move the camera down thinking you have the shot as the shot is taken.. blurry picture.

that list is a little out of date tho...

Have a search post some links and I'll take a look at them and give you run down on what you selected. will be later tonight tho at work

[Gillsy]

Thanks Andy, i'll have a look

Now go to bed, or you'll be grumpy later

I have the Canon PowerShot A480 10MP Camera that andy mentioned and it is really simple to use and the picture quality is really sharp

We don't use our digital camera anymore we just use our phone cameras.

There is that classic quote that the best camera is the one you have with you, for me that's my phone.

I swear by canon cameras but expect that any camera made by a respectable brand will be adequate.

Personally I have a quite expensive full frame DSLR which I love but also have a little canon ixus 95 which is ideal for keeping in my pocket and takes quite nice snapshots in full auto mode.

I'd suggest looking in a shop where you can actually hold the cameras first. Jessops etc.

Very good advice!
