Hello everyone!
Here's my query: I want to give my gf a digital camera as her birthday present next month. The limitation is, surpringly enough, budget. The maximun I can squeeze out is a punitive for my standards 220€. Now, we are very unsophisticated photographers, as a matter of fact neither of us two own a camera, so we would fall into your random John Doe mass consumer category, the sort that points and shoots, plays with the zoom and uses perhaps once in a blue moon a different feature.
The camera I'm targetting is a compact one, with rechargeable ion-lithium battery (no AA batteries) with a big display (2 to 2.5'' screen) and an all rounder aimed to the sort of consumers we are.
Now after studying the possibilities given the budget, and narrowing the search, I find myself with a gnawing doubt... which camera should I get?
-The 5.1 MP Fujifilm FinePix Z1
or
-The 6.37 MP Casio Exilim Zoom EX Z60
Thank you very much! :)
