# if you leave it to long
it will compact, and form a turd based diamond.

# Clients are great. Meeting real accountants makes you appreciate
just what an exciting life us normal folk lead.

I achieved a personal record of not saying anything for a whole half hour.

# Was that half an hour
of sitting quietly in the background silence
or shame-faced "WHY DOESN'T THIS FUCKIN THING WORK?" silence?

# sitting quietly in the background.

everyone was a man too, so nothing interesting to look at.

The real valueable ones are made with sweetcorn. Better colouring you see.

# you body would re-absorb the moisture of said turd
and the consitancy of the turd would become harder until you really did shit a brick (albeit a brown sausage style brick)

# well
I wasn't going to run the experiment for a month. Just until it stops being the consistancy of vegetable milkshake

# well
i looked at that one - and decided to go for the A203. I convinced the guy in Jessops to give it to me on the friends and family discount thing he had. *just pretend you know me - I'm mike by the way* etc. The A203 feels loads better (not as plasticy) - you should take a look at it but the A202 is ok too I spose.

# Can't say
either of them sound all that great - and don't believe them about the batteries.
(I helped save b3ta! Ijon Tichy, Thu 3 Apr 2003, 12:24, archived)
# Yeah actually
you're right. The "long life" isn't actually very long. The 128mb card is much cheaper than sony's equivalent tho.

# Rechargeable NiMh ones are fantastic though.
They last quite well in my camera.

# Before
I get accused of spamming - I don't know how reliable that website is, but it's the best I've found for comparing different cameras.

# I have the A203
And mighty impressed. found the cheapest place to get it was Amazon with a lovely £3 off voucher too. just bought a 128 mb card too which is about the same size as phones sim card and I was told that these are becoming popular as they are fast and small. Holds just over 200 photos.

Heres a scaled down picture that I took with it:

# why are they all silver and shiny!?
...they just look crap...I would buy a digital camera if it looked like an old fifties type one or if it had a leathery finish that would wear over time...silver and shiny = cheap looking crap

# Just bought one of these for my dad for his birthday
Seems like a good little starter camera. The only downside is that it only has digital zoom and (thanks to the way Fuji do their digital zoom) this means that you've got no zoom at all at 2 megapixels resolution and very limited zoom at 1 megapixel. At its lowest res (0.3Mp VGA) the zoom goes in quite a long way, but you don't buy a 2 megapixel camera to use it in 0.3 megapixel mode, do you?

If you're not that bothered about the zoom, then seriously consider it. Otherwise, you'll need to spend some extra pennies on something with a decent optical zoom lens (at least 3x, and preferably with the highest mm equivalent at maximum zoom - the good 3x optical ones go up to about 115mm.)

It's well worth looking around Steve's Digicams and DPReview.com before making a decision.
