Laffa,

No idea. I've got a Fujifilm FinePix S5600 but there are simply hundreds to choose from.

Ian,

I WAS a real professional. LOL

Laffa - KKOB is right. You wouldn't know it but I have the same camera but obviously don't get the same results.

The basic functions (the only ones I understand) are really easy.

Tescos are selling the new model (7.1 million pixels, whatever they are) for around £ 130 I think.

You'll need to get one for next Friday

Try reading the instruction manual. It explains things quite well.

Get a well name brand of camera, as the lens makes a big difference.  Vivitar camera in my opinion, not so good, sorry Ian.
Nikon, Canon & Pentax...the big 3.   Pixels...price dropped dramatically over the years and 4or5 mega pixels are enough.  Unless you want to buy larger storage media, as the pixels go up the memory needed increases. Believe it or not 2mega pixels is great for A4 pics, it's only if you want to zoom into your pic and blow smaller areas up that you start to need more sharpness etc, which is what more pixels do.
The better camera lenses stop down with figures like 1.4 & 1.2 as examples, which mean they can produce quality pics in low light.
I believe Fuji though are meant to be quite good in this respect, hence maybe KKOB's choice.
Use a tripod when you can and shoot at dusk and dawn, like I do  (not)  LOL

 :)Thanks for the info,I have been looking through the Argos and it just becomes a blur after you have read up on just 2 of them,I have a better idea now, and if I can be a pest again, do you know off the top of your head which one is straight forward for developing. ;)
