Hi,

was wondering if anyone could reccomend a camera.

Just a plain simple digital compact.

Only preferable features are:
1. Cheap <£100
2. Minimal Noise
3. Wide lens
if anyone has something old to sell, id be interested. IM ok with anything at least 4megapixel.

i'd recommend the canon ixus 70. Just picked one up in CEX for £90. Top compact camera, easy to use and has wide angle

Theres no shortage of cameras out there, I was just looking for opinions mainly as most compacts ive had goes on are extremely noisy.

Just looking for something that does nice images.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
