money to spend at jessops

Hi,
I have some vouchers to spend at Jessops and want a decent point and shoot
cam ... we have up to £500 all in (insurance thing). Looking at the canon
IXUS 60(?)... anything to compare it to - nice size and build quality. Why
though are there CD cards to expensive - £86 for a 1 gig card?? £17 on
amazon.. what gives?

If you are in the UK there are plenty of online resellers who do SD cards a
lot cheaper. Off the top of my head Expansys are one of them,
http://www.expansys.com but if you google you'll be hit by loads of
suppliers.

I assume Jessops capitalise on the initial burst of enthusiasm to scalp
people when they've just bought a camera.

BTW, I also am thinking of the Canon Ixus 60 .... it is just so damn nicely
put together although I suspect there are better cameras in the price range.

With £500 you can almost get two!

They have just knocked around £65 off the Nikon D50 DSLR. It is now below
£400 for the first time. Not exactly pocketable unless you have 12-inch
square pockets, but a lovely camera.

Yeah - I just don't think I'd use it as much as a pocket size one though...
