It doesn't work anywhere else either i heard.

Tried to find Prnt Scrn button at the bar a couple of night back, to capture some fine booty action, but no go.

Fraps evidently doesn't work either.

About cameras, all i can say is you can't go wrong with canon, any canon really, and you're already on a good street for not even thinking about getting a minisizeddigisupershot or some such.

Other issues come with price really, and how much you're ready to pay.

~200 quid max. i do however plan to take photographs of 'streets' when i get back. a lil hobby of mine

Personally, i think tat would buy you a nice enough canon. I've always used canons(when i used cameras way back) so, personal favorite. Can't give much of a "in depth" opinion on the models out nowadays etc though.

But, what i can help, is say that they have worked purrfectly.

Samsung Digimax L74W Specs Digital Camera

Seen a few of these in action, and their not bad. A little tempramental for anyone with a ham-fist, but still a decent image quality.

Its even worse when you try to make a script to clean your dishes

Fujifilm FinePix F50fd Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review

ooh ooh waaaait!!!!!


i saw on one of those travel shows that you can get excellant cameras and nerdy electrical stuff in japan for a fraction of the cost youd get it in europe...maybe yu should investigate this and then if its true buy one over there?


ok you may proceed.

I bought a nice digital camera last year. It was one of the SLR type ones you are looking not looking for, but the best advice i could give is that the digital camera magazines were well worth a look at for their reviews of the current models. Which digital camera was one i found pretty good. They often have an index listing many models at different price ranges so it helps to pick one that suits your needs.

Hope you find a good one.

was considering that but chances are that i might buy a faux, defect or a non-english (or danish) product might be high. besides, does it break i wont be able to get services, both sexual and non-sexsual, when i turn it in

LoL you do realise that the cameras selling in Denmark /UK are made in Japan or China? You going to Tokyo, its not like you are in Vietnam or some such place so when you purchase a camera over there chances are that it will be made in Japan rather then in North Korea.

.....besides, does it break i wont be able to get services, both sexual and non-sexsual, when i turn it in

I think that you would still be able to get it serviced and repaired at one of the many shops in Denmark representing Caoon or Sony etc.


I bought one of these

Amazon.com: Sony Cybershot DSC-T1 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom: Camera & Photo

in 2005 and its still working and no need for warranty or anything. If it does break i will just take it to any sony dealer and get it fixed. Cost you ask? A fraction of what it would have cost me in England.
