Sony P8 or P10
P10 is on offer at lots of places for only a tiny tiny bit more than the P8

Kodak EasyShare DX 6340 is a fantastic camera - packed full of features!! (got one myself)
With the money you will have left, you should be able to afford a 128Mb MMC Card for it too

Yea, better quality if your printing out A1 sized prints...
Have a read up on Digital Cameras before you buy as you dont seem to understand

^ Yep .
Yeh I got the P8 , same as the P10, only difference is it's only 3.2 Megapixels. And it come's with a 16 meg MS instead of a 32 meg. (Think that's the only difference)
Have to agree about the videos - they're amazing. Obviously has sound.
Just as good as some digital video cameras.

Nice..... These are the two I think I have narrowed it down too.....
Kodak EasyShare DX4530 Digital Camera [5MP 3xOptical]
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000B3OX8/ref=br_lf_ce_9/026-0908307-1021262
Sony DSC-P10 Digital Camera [5MP 3xOptical]
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00009EOWJ/ref=br_lf_ce_11/026-0908307-1021262
Which is best do you think??

If it is out of those two then it has to be the Sony imo!
- Sony is so much smaller, so nice and compact, and looks sweet as fcuk.
- Another thing I just noticed is the video on that Kodak is only 320 x 240 pixels at 15 fps. Sony is 640x480, 16 fps.
