Canon Ixus 100 IS £99.99 - Play.com
Been after a 'point and shoot' to put in my pocket for a while. These are vry very slim and from the ones I have had a go with rather good.
The intention is to have it in my pocket at all times and then go back to the scene of the crime with my DSLR if I find a good shot.
I know it's getting old this model now, but it's replacement is going to be £300+ !!
They are doing 4gb Samsung Class 6 SD cards too for £5.99 : http://www.play.com/Electronics/Elec...6/Product.html

Picked one up cheers as my Sony Cybershot is on its way out now!!:cool2:
Re: Canon Ixus 100 IS £99.99 - Play.com
Yeah, much slimmer than the Sony but lacks the Optical Zoom you tend to get on Sony's
To be honest I don't always use zoom that much so I am happy with 3.0x
Just bagged a mini HDMI cable off Ebay too. It's a bonus it does 720p HD Video. Not that I will use it much but it will come in handy.
Play are also doing a 16gb version of the SD card for £18. 4gb will be enough for now.
I actually just went on and bought another for the missus as her Powershot is very bulky (but very good).
Got £1.19 quidco cashback.. not much but better than chapped skin on your knob!

Nah it aint as slim as mine its a DSC T7 I think...its been a good camera in its time but the sound is borked on the videos and the sliding lens cover is sticking!:arf:
Re: Canon Ixus 100 IS £99.99 - Play.com
Ah yes. I used to have a T1 back in the day when they first came out. My problem with it was the colours where really washed out on it and it didn't 'feel' like a camera.

Yeah agreed, but theres nowt better for having something in your pocket all the time that you do forget is there!:yes:
Re: Canon Ixus 100 IS £99.99 - Play.com
True and hence why I want one :)
After my 2 week Holiday I started to really get to know and love my 400d. Back home and it's only been out to extract the pictures! So a little point and click to get me back into the groove is what I need.
Expect lots of Photo Comp efforts from me know buhahahahahaha!

I have to take my last comment back. I have done some digging in the menus and found the shutter time, which can be set upto 15 seconds.
Plus lots of other features like a Photo Stitch assistant etc...
Very pleased with it! Still a bit noisy with the shutter at 15 seconds compared to my 400D, but software can fix that ;)
I have found some mention on forums of Firmwares to allow more advanced settings, it impacts battery life but I might have a go at some point.
