Thread: What to buy - Suggestions please.

Bought a Ricoh Caplio R7 a while back mainly because it has great Macro (1cm) & 28mm-200mm equivalent zoom. Most compacts only start at 35mm which can make framing a shot more of a challenge. The other 'seller' was you can power it on & take a shot in under 1.5 secs which I find useful for kids (although sometimes that is too slow). Only disappointment is the poor flash for night time use.

Let us know what you end up buying.

I'm telling ya - Canon Ixus 80 is a good little jobbie !
