  Tesco DigiCams - Pukka or Pants? (for photographing Lego <--relevant!)
 
Whilst trying to find some discounted Star Wars Lego in the North Harbour Tesco's (Portsmouth), I saw a display stand for digital cameras, at a penny under a ton.

(...) This is a pretty high price for a digicam of this spec. The high street is NOT usually a good place to look. Though I notice you said 'penny under a ton', then said it was £199.99, Did you mean £99.99, which would be more reasonable. What (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) Erm - can't remember. I think it had the word 'dream' in the name. I tried to remember the website printed on the box, but forgot. I'll try and find it. (...) Hmm. Saw that. I'm not too bothered about the LCD viewer part of it, since that only (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Hi Jason, in this month's Computer Shopper there is a glowing review of the Jenoptic JD-350 (URL) costs £99.99 and claims to be the smallest in the world, 640x480 max res, 8mb fixed memory, flash and it actually looks quite nice (silver housing (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Re digital cameras, I just traded up to a Nikon Coolpix 900 which is a fave with e-bayers. Got mine second user from Jessops at £229 with box and manuals. It does 1.3 megapixels and has a macro facility. Have a look at my auctions for an example of (...) (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) I bought one of those in a package with a HP printer (which usually goes for £100) from Jungle for £245, and am very happy with both. Being a camera novice, it has taken me a bit of time to learn how to use it effectively, and as a result some (...) (24 years ago, 9-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)
