Hi all I need a bit of digital camera advice.
My dad bought a Canon Power Shot A420 digital camera and we are satisfied with its quality of image and prints we get from them.
I am now looking at cameras and came across the Samsung L600 6MP camera. Things I have picked out are naturally its a good price, but it had a mobile phone type battery which I assume will last longer as batteries AAA/AA in the UK are generally rubbish, it has ISO 1600 which is meant to be good for low level light and its less bulky than my dads camera.
Overall I want to achieve the equal quality that my dad gets from the Canon, so if this camera is considered a bit rubbish from your opinion id like your suggestions.

auraorange,
First of all, Canon's point-and-shoot models are nearly always at or near top of class for image quality. It's going to be hard to beat the A420 on that factor, and Samsung is not going to be winning that one. As far as battery life is concerned, the mobile phone-type battery may hold up well initially against the AA/AAAs, but high-performance rechargeable NiMH in the AA size do pretty well these days, and I would be surprised if the smaller battery would be competitive. And, it's hard to beat AAs on replacement/interchangeabi
Cheers,
