    Digital Camera - Fuji F50 Vs Canon IXUS 80

    I bought the Ixus 80 and I am very impressed with its quality and ease of use.

Both the Fuji and Canon are great brands and easy to use for point and shoot, however they both...

    I also bought from Flemmings in Monaghan and found them very competitive, especially if you are buying a lot of stuff - plenty of room to negotiate. They also accepted sterling. I dealt with Robert - bang on lad! I have no association with Flemmings, just a happy customer.
