The SX120 has great night-shooting abilites im led to believe which im keen for too. I guess im a beginner when it comes to photography but am keen to learn.Doesnt have to be real compact as I dont care about the size either.Does this seem like something that'd suit me?OR are there other models which I should be going for?Cheers for any advice.

I noticed the camera takes AA batteries, my best advice would be to find one, or pay extra for a camera that has a rechargeable lithium battery. buying AA's is the biggest pain in the butt. maybe look at some others. good luck.

I got mine quite q while ago and for the life of me can't remember what I paid for it...but I got it pretty cheap as my mate works at harvey norman...I also got a bigger propper photography camera with film rather than digital... for a bit of fun... depends on what you want it for... but for a day to day cam... cant go past most canon cameras...

You won't have any dramas with either.Personally I use Citiwide as I've found their prices a bit cheaper on the items I've brought.Get a S90 if you can stretch the budget a little.

I used to have a pentax KM and that did really good car shots and scenery shots but someone nicked it. thinking more towards the 50d with a 18-55 lense or 55-250 lense Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66932-help-me-buy-a-new-camera/#findComment-991602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
