Ok, I really need some advice on what camera to take with me to Florida to see the shuttle launch (hopefully) but also for the Everglades, Rocket Park etc. I only have a £100 digital compact atm but was thinking of say £250 for a noob type SLR? any suggestion would be grateful

You may be lucky and getting a second hand or pre-used camera/lens combo for £250. Sadly, the cheapest new cameras start over the £300 mark. If you shop about you may find there are some discount codes and cashback deals going on. You could look at hiring a camera. |

If you do a bit of research you may be able to make a big saving by making a purchase in the states. Watch out for warranties though as some of them don't travel well. |

If a big zoom is a priority (I guess you're going to be stood quite a way off) then you can get something in the region of 10x-18x optical zoom. I cant vouch for the qulaity of these cameras as I've used none of them but dpreview and the like should have something on them. Lumix DMC-FZ38 Finepix S2500HD Cybershot DSC-H20 Powershot SX120IS Edit There's also a new Samsung with some new sensor they've developed. Its got something crazy zoom like 24x but its approaching bottom end SLR money AFAIK |

The Nikon CoolPix L110 seems to be everything you require. 28-420mm lens. Image Stabilisation. ISO 80 - 6400. f/3.5-5.4. Mark |
