Rhods Recomended Digital Cameras
1 Gigabyte SD Memory Card - £5.99

 

Go to the bottom of this page to see the Cameras we recomend !
 
Hi - my name is Rhod - welcome to my Recomended Digital Camera pages . Below you will see 6 small pictures of the Digital Cameras that i think offer the very best in terms of performance & value for money in the main price / use brackets .
 
Deciding which are the best Cameras is not an easy one to make because there are so many available ... but i have a huge advantage in helping me make my choices ... i have the benifit of having seen the results of Steves tests on just about every Camera he can get his hands on . Steve has tested over 600 Digital Cameras over the last few years so knows what is good & bad - i doubt whether there are more than a very few people in the UK that have tested as many Cameras as he has & even less who have had the opportunity to test them both in the UK & Abroad .
 
Steves tests are not the types you will find in many Magazines or Internet sites - he does not use complicated charts or set conditions because he feels that the Cameras should be tested in the same way & for the same purpose as the person who is most likeley to buy the Camera would use it . There is no point in trying to take Pro type pictures with a pont n shoot Camera ... equally so there is no point in using a Digital SLR for just snap shots ... Steve tests them for what they are ! . He then prints the results to A4 or A3 size so we can show our Customers in our Shops exactly what they will get from that Camera .
 
By clicking on any of the mini pictures of the Cameras below you will be taken to a web page that gives Steves full report on that Camera along with one or more pictures taken with that Camera .
 
Now to remind you of things you should think about when you are deciding which Camera is best for you ...

  • Forget the Make of the Camera - many Cameras from famous names such as Olympus are not made by that Company - the Camera may be made by another Company you have never heard of for Olympus etc .
  • The more Pixels the Camera has does not allways mean better pictures . The quality of the Lens matters at least as much as Pixels . Cameras with 8 million or more Pixels can suffer very badly from Noise ( Noise is where the pictures can seem very grainy or out of focus ) - smaller Cameras are more prone to this .
  • Beware of Cameras with just a Digital Zoom . Optical Zooms are where the Camera uses its Lens to zoom in & zoom out - Digital Zooms are where the Camera uses its own built in Software to crop in on an image so you loose quality big time with a Digital Zoom .

You should also consider what else you may need to buy when you get your new Digital Camera ...

  • For cameras that use AA batteries you may need to get a set of AA Nimh Rechargeable Batteries . Costs £10.99 for the Charger & 4x AAnimh Rechargeable Batteries that can be charged via normal plug socket or in your car
  • Most Cameras do not come with a Case . We sell Cases from just £3.99 to around £10 for compact Cases .
  • Modern Cameras come with Internal Memory so you may need to get a Memory Card . Cards for SD type Cameras cost £5.99 for a 1 gigabyte Card - £9.99 for a 1 gigabyte XD Card - £9.99 for a 1 gigabyte Memory Stick Duo Card
  • All Cameras come with a very good Software CD & USB leads to connect Camera to your Computer .
