ixus 55 is a good point and click

ignore the sony t7, its shoot, look at canon!!

as i say just need a day 2 day point and click, keep them on computer maby do some print outs if i ever get a decent printer. My mates done me a short list, gona have a look at these:

Sony CyberShot W17 7.2 mp
Sony Cybershot DSC-T7 5.1mp
Casio Exilim EX-Z500
Nikon CoolPix S2 5.1mp
Fuji FinePix Z1 Digital Camera 5.2mp
Nikon Coolpix S3 6.4mp
Nikon Coolpix S1 5.1mp

deprends what yur going to do with it. big prints need big mp nut if all your going to do is 7x5s at the most plus webstuff then 4p will do. do you want just point and click or do you want to be able to manual focus set aperture/shutter speed etc etc.

or look for the ixus 55 if you want something a little smaller

Something like that would suit you needs I would imagine

its just a day to day camera im looking for realy, just to take some pic's of the car and when i go on holiday. so some thing smaller would be more suitable

dont worry too much about number of pixels, anything around 250 will have a high enough number not to worry bout it.

Also dont just look for the highest number because an 8 million pixel camera at that price may sound great but in practise its too many pixels for a point and shoot camera, and you end up with noise in the picture. Need to consider lense quality, battery type etc.

And as mentioned before, what are you looking for, a small point and shoot or something bigger, with more zoom and more creativity?

Do you want a really small one to fit in your pocket? If not search for the fuji s5600, its quite chunky but has some good features on it and is around £200.

Just looking at getting a new digital camera but whats the minimum amount of mega pixels i want to be looking at?

I dont want to spend more then around £250.

Any advice welcome as i dont realy have a clue about cameras.
