Which Digital Camera

[Sockpuppet]

If you are going to get the D80 look at this: http://www.jessops.com/Store/s36211/...index=1&comp=y

If you are getting a Sigma lens looks for the APO version it has better glass than the DG versions. Alround a better lens and not much more $$$

gotya....so basicly as I don't have any of my old SLR lenses any more, any camera I buy I'll have to live with that mount. So if the Nikkon is a better camera and I understand I have to stick with this type of mount there should not be a problem.

Yes, it only a problem if you want to change later from say Nikon to Canon but all the ranges have enough of a Pro camera element so if you get really good there is always something for you to move up to so its not really an issue.

Can anyone recommend a small compact camera (the ones that are so small that you can fit into a pocket)?

My casio exilim is great - so's my mate's Canon Ixus, slightly bigger though.

Olympus are good.

Ixus cameras have a lot of features.

Hi yes I've decided on the nikon D80 with: -
18-135mm lense
sigma 70-300mm lense
replacement battery
lense filter
5x 1Gb SD memory card (the 133 ones)

Just got to find hte best place to buy it, so far the best price is Jesups for the Camera and lense's.

I'm going to a local shop tonight to see what they have and the price, also to get a feel of the camera.

I've got the Casio and my wife has got the Ixus, TBH i think the canon is easier to take better photos with, the images somehow just look a bit warmer and nicer.

Not a good comparison i know

Good luck with the new buy when you eventually get it. Lots of good resources in the internet for tips etc ! You do need to work a bit to get the best out of a Dslr
