Camera advice (recently bought new camera&want to change it maybe)?

H.P x

I bought the Olympus X43 Digital camera yesterday, and i was trying it out today and it makes all the images either very orange or very white and heavily contrasted. I bought the camera mainly due to the good zoom&megapixels however, it is terrible in my opinion.

I bought this camera for the soul purpose of music concerts&messing around with friends&family, therefore if i change the camera I will need one with a good zoom&which works well inside.

I only have £60 as a budget

i need this camera for more casual things because taking around SLR isn't always practical

So two questions

1) Is there anything I can do with the Olympus to make the images come out better
2) If not, what is a good camera ffor £60

Thank you

Answer
Very orange pix are usually caused by taking the pic lit by incandescent light bulbs (the old fashioned kind). Adjust White Balance can fix this.

amazon.co.uk has several cameras within your budget

Among those, I'd look very closely at the Canon and Nikon cameras. I'd also consider the Kodak ones.

Know megapixels?

.

My distant uncle forgot his Digital Camera at my place. He later let me know that I could keep the camera.

I dont have the box or anything. There's not much written on the body of the camera (Fuji F420). So my question is...

HOW DO I KNOW HOW MUCH MEGA PIXEL THE CAMERA IS.

Answer
Fujifilm today announced the FinePix F420 Zoom, while it has a similar look and feel to the F410 it has a smaller case a larger, higher resolution LCD monitor, is powered by a supplied rechargeable battery or AAA batteries and a video out socket for display on a TV. The camera features a 3.1 million pixel SuperCCD HR and three times optical zoom lens. In addition movies can be recorded at a full 30 frames per second for as long as there is space on the xD-Picture Card. Jumping on the bandwagon the F420 Zoom also has PictBridge support (although just how many people will use it in any camera is yet to be seen).

Press Release (Fujifilm UK):

FinePix F420 Zoom: tiny and shiny, but no lightweight


Smallest Fujifilm camera to incorporate Super CCD HR technology and 30 frames per second video

21 October 2003 - Fujifilm today introduced the FinePix F420 Zoom, an A-list compact digital camera that marries style with substance to stand out from the crowd.

Building on the success of the highly acclaimed FinePix F410 Zoom, the FinePix F420 Zoom oozes quality with its robust, metal body, yet measures just 77 (W) x 69 (H) x 26.4 (D) mm - even smaller than its predecessor.

A real show-stopper, the FinePix F420 Zoom is the smallest camera to include Fujifilm's 4th Generation Super CCD HR (High Resolution) technology and can realise 3 million effective pixels, producing 6 million recorded pixels. Its diminutive frame also successfully incorporates a 3x optical zoom lens and a voice memo recorder capable of storing up to 30 seconds of sound.

What's more, the FinePix F420 Zoom's high quality movie capture capabilities give an encore-deserving performance. It records at 30 frames per second, a frame-rate that will ensure silky-smooth movie clips.

While this camera's compact dimensions ensure it will fit into any shirt pocket or clutch bag, usability has not been compromised. The FinePix F420 Zoom comfortably incorporates a 1.8" LCD monitor into its svelte frame, as well as a Video Out socket for viewing images on a TV. The camera is also compatible with PictBridge, the industry standard for printing images from a digital camera without using a PC, making the process simpler and more efficient than ever.

This camera is a real crowd pleaser, and powered by its rechargeable battery (with an option to use AAA batteries should it run low), you can be confident the FinePix F420 Zoom will last the night - even if you don't.

Adrian Clarke, Fujifilm's Director of Consumer Products, commented: "Earlier this year, the FinePix F410 Zoom set some serious standards in photography; heavyweight picture power, contained within a small metal shell. The FinePix F420 Zoom crams greater firepower into an even more discreet package."

"This camera is that rarest of combinations - it looks great wherever you take it, and you can be sure the pictures will, too."
