thanks for the info 
(and yeah, iāve got some experience of buying outside the UK, so Iāll definitely look into all the extras etc! :))
Hehe,
I would recon a 4 - 5 mp cam for you. you can make good printout with 2 mp cams, but to be on the save side go for 3-4 mp. And a digital cam is more expensive than a film one. 
Because you donāt want any fancy macro modes, night shot, long exposure, etc. you need to throw that away: the more silly functions a cam has, the more expensive it will be.
Iām not saying that (other) functions are a no-no, but you certainly donāt want any additional stuff that you donāt use.
Look around for something that has (at least) 3x optical zoom. The optical zoom is the real zoom the lens has, donāt look at the digital zoom. You can do that on the computer.
For all future cam owners, look at http://www.dpreview.com/ You can read owner opinions (if the lcd is easely scratched, if the glass lens has good quality, if it handels allright, etc), has a great list of cams and itās features and you can lay them side-by-syde for comparison.
And donāt be afraid to step in a photo shop ( not your average wall-mart digital section) and ask questions. They are proffesionals (unlike me) and can give you more advice than I ever will.

Could you give some more info? Because the way I look at it now, you donāt need any digital camera.
Well, I need the camera to take pics for my site, but I think that my dad has a digital camera in his office, so Iāll ask him if he can lend it to me

**Although I am gonna stick to my film camera for nowā¦ I have yet to see a digital camera for a resonable price that can take pics like my SLR can. =)
Cheers!

Reasonable? Depends on what you call reasonable.

Thatās far better than buying one yourself!
I love my camera. Make movies all the time.
I bought my dad a powershot a70 for fathers day and killed two birds with one stone He said he needed a digital camera and Iāll use it for my site. I havenāt figured all the manual stuff out yet, thoughā¦
Wellā¦ Considering my SLR+Lens(es)+Filters was about $1000.00(US) Then around that would be reasonable, if I get a 300mm lens with the deal.
Cheers!
