I need to buy a digital for fish shots only

What should I go for ????

 

Bearing in mind I am a bit of a techniphobe and the less "knobs" the better

Fuji finepix A510

 

Fuji's have simple menu's and this model comes with a 1.8" LCD monitor , 5.1 Megapixels , simple good zoom £99.00 in PC World, you may find cheaper on the web. Note this only comes with a internal memory of 12Mb you would need to buy a memory card ( XD ). Just noticed that the majority of our serveyors have not opened their camera manuels ( still in their plastic wrapping ) so that say's how simple the cameras are.

 

I have bought maybe 20+ Fuji's over the years for work, our serveyors find them easy to use and reliable. I have only had one fail, which was about 5 years old and used every weekday for 5 to 10 shots ( the menu control button sensor under the menu button failed ).

 

Hope this helps

don't forget the first law of digital photography: the number of fish you will catch is inversely proportional to the number of pixels in your camera. Hence it is obvious that if you don't have a camera, you will catch more fish!

get a 128 or 256 MB card to go with it. If you get something different make sure it has an optical viewfinder listed in the camera specifications. Happy shopping!
