Every time I go out to buy something I start thinking about ... Marketing. Sorry. Anyway, a new camera is on the cards, a point-and-shoot (I'm not a photographer, OK!) I know what I want in a camera, I've done my homework and I've whittled down the list to a couple or three that all fit my criteria. They all offer me great image quality, enough control and they cost about the same. I'm not a camera brand 'fan-boy' so I'd be happy with any of them. How do I decide which one to buy? I don't know. But when I go out to buy, one of them will tip the scales in some way. Reputation, customer service or buying experience are common scale tippers for me. Probably nothing to do with the camera. And the first one that does, will get my dollar. I'll let you know how I get on. Cheers, Nigel PS Advice invited if you reckon you can keep me out of trouble :)
