Fuji A345, 4.1 MP
Posted: Fri Nov 04, 2005 9:50 pm
Hey I bought this camera just now. I used to have a lovely, petite Canon Ixus ll which got stolen a while ago, so couldn't afford another £199 and spent £89 instead. Plus £10 for a 128mb memory card ( normally £22) as part of a deal at Currys.

In fact I'd bought a cheap £40 3.1 megapixel camera today from Comet, ( an 'I.T. Works 3045'), and then took it back after realising it had 'no' to about every option, such as no macro, and , well, no nothing really except basic functions and movie mode. And a review said it was a pos, so that made me realise my impulse purchase was foolhardy. Luckily I didn't open the box when I got home.
Off topic, who trains these fucking monkeys at currys? They don't know their arse from their elbows, they can't be bothered to make a decent effort in helping the customer, and they chit chat and swear to other workmates while they're in the middle of serving you. When I asked for the FULL specs on cameras the salesman just provided me with a promo sheet with very little info then told me they're not professional camera people. I said to him 'oh I see, you're not a professional camera salesman so that means you don't have to know shit about what you're selling. Very good'. :icon27: Then he started to make an effort. Then he couldn't find the box for the camera. But I did as it was staring at me on a shelf behind the.. 'salesman' . Amateurs I tell ya!
Anyway back ON topic, the fuji A345 seems to be the best camera for bells and whistles in the lower price range, anyone think it's quite good?
