Digital Cameras.....

[luckyblind]

Canon Digital camera's are usually very good quality, packed with useful features and important for a lot of people - very easy to use. I have a compact 5million pixel IXUS from about 3 yrs ago and also the Digital SLR model before Blondes new one. Both have served well and take great pictures.

Nikon would be my second choice, closely followed by Pentax. If going for a Sony get one with Carl Ziess lens.

Older Fuji's pixel ratings used to be misleading as it is was software enhanced rather than the CCD having the stated number of pixels. Not in electronics anymore but used to manage shops that did a few years ago. Canon camera's were very rarely returned for repair.

You saying the Fujifilm F610 doesn't offer 6 mega pixels?  I think you'll find it does.  It offers 12 mega pixels with the digital zoom.

i have a konica minolta Dimage Z6 - I picked it up half price cos Konica dont make cameras anymore. I liked the 10 X optical zoom, and it also takes all sorts of other lenses, like the 3 x telephoto lens I just bought, which means it has up to 30 x optical zoom.

really handy for us perverts

Can't remember the model numbers but it used to be that Fuji always stated the biggest pixel rating - pretty sure they were first to offer 6M but they something called interpolation (I think- memory a bit hazy!) to get this figure. They may have changed this since.

On the subject of digital cameras.

If you viewed your pictures on your pc would they be stored anywhere on your pc even if you did not save them.

i.e using the usb? lead plugging one end in the camera the other in the pc.

The reason for this is Boots Murdered our memory card, the whole card was full of pics the day/week our daughter
was born. So we have no pics of her when she was born etc.

We sent the memory card to specialist companies but they could not recover anything off the card.

Doesn't sound promising M.  If you view the pictures that are still on the camera via a USB cable, the computer in effect considers the camera to be an external drive, and pulls them directly from the camera (rather than transferring them to your computer's drives first).

Have you tried to recover them yourself M?  I had to get some file recovery software a couple of years ago when some numpty formatted my hard drive and thought I'd give it a go on my memory cards and it brought back loads of stuff that was deleted.

Worth a try, you can usually download a trial version that will show you what you can recover, then you may have to pay to actually recover it.
