I have a Sony T20 which I use when I need a compact camera for stuff like holidays and other times that I only need a small camera.

£127 + £6.50 on here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sony-Cyber-Shot-DSC-...93%3A1|294%3A50

Takes some really good quality close ups in Macro and Super Macro mode too! Great little camera all round :)

i'll take a peak at that cam.. only thing was had a sony a while back and the screen packed in after 7 months with very limited use. that'll teach me for not looking into the common faults.. but i did like the camera and its features so this will b on my list..

dont have a clue about a camera but my mate just got back from 8 months in Oz and it sounded so good! you'l love it man. surfers paradise sounds sweet from what he said!

yeah 2 lads im off with have already done a year and loved it but i decided to finish my degree, so this time there is nothing stopping me..education done not alot of spending money required to actually get there so jobs a good un..

With the sony one, the battery is rechargeable with an external charger (comes with the camera) so no buying shed loads of batteries

I've had mine 2 years now and not had one problem! :) its been on the floor a number of times too lol
