Hey

I am looking at getting a digital camera, nothing too fancy but something decent - basically a camera where I can just take photos

Basically I need it for taking basic photos, indoors and outdoors but I want good quality and not something thats slow and ends up taking crap photos - point and shoot camera!

I have the following 3 in mind but I can't decide which one would be best to get, any ideas?

SONY CyberShot W80 : http://www.sony.com.au/dis/catalog/product...ategoryId=22119

SONY CyberShot W55 : http://www.sony.com.au/dis/catalog/product...ategoryId=22119

CANON Ixus 70 : http://www.canon.com.au/products/cameras/d...italixus70.aspx

I've read some review but they are all pretty much the same - CANON is the cheapest, then the W55 then the W80 being most expensive

If someone can recommend something else feel free, I'm looking at spending about $300

:thumbsup:

you want something compact specifically?

i have older version of this and IMO its fantastic for a P&S

Whats that one worth?

ah to much man

Personally I'm a huge fan of Canon, they're easy to use, you have a multitude of 'manual' functions that most other 'point and shoot' cameras dont have and they're quite hardy for how small they are.

in my time I've had an:

A70 - stolen

Ixus 60 - GF's point n shoot

EOS 20D - my toy

anyway, best way to find out what camera you like is to go into a shop and spend 1/2 an hour playing with them...

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
