Hi,

Just popping in here to ask if anyone knows when the C875 will hit uk shops and if anyone has seen a review for it yet?

Thanks

thanks boily, i had a look at the specs, looks like a nice camera.

i had a dx6340 a year or so ago and that was excellent.

now do i wait for a c875 or go for the canon a700 or the fuji f30

i have no idea how much the c875 will be here in the ukeither :?

The 875 is on the shelves in the US. I have already played with one. They have an a** of feature for a compact camera. They have panostitching, custom and manual settings... Really nice, if I really felt the need to spend the same on my pocket camera as I did for my p850, then I would get one.

thanks for the info - how much are they in the us?

i have no clue as to what price point they will be at - comparable to a canon a700? or to the ixus800?

I am sure the camera will find its over the pond to the U.K. side so please don't hold your breath waiting or you eill turn blue like your shirt!!!!:G

Look at your photo web site. Some nice pictures.

What pano progtam are you using? I use auto stitch, a free program that is bi-directional (stitches horizontal and verticle.

Best prices I found here in the states
Kodak c875--$265
Canon a700-- $319
The 8mp of the kodak vs canon's 6mp might encourage me to wait till you can try one

:Gthanks for the kind comments bill - i used autostitch too, not had much chance to do many pano's - something i enjoyed doing but keep forgetting to take some more!

and thanks dan for the price comparison, i can wait another few weeks i spose :sad:



update: just seen the c875online at 2 uk stores (dixons and diigiuk)for around 180ukp, this compares to the canon a700 at around 200ukp
