Information - decent bridge camera for 60 quid !!!

[Stopford_lad]

Hardly the pinnacle of modern technology, but a great camera for a newbie, or as a back up for an slr that you may have dropped in a skanky drain

Buy Hitachi 16MP Bridge Camera - Black at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Bridge digital cameras.

Ok, bear with me....... I know fook all about photography. Do all of mine with an iPhone!!
Of course this becomes a problem on a night or underground explore.
Would this camera be ok for that sort of work?
Would I be able to take low lighting shots without a flash, as I've seen other guys do with their dslr's?
Any info would be helpful
Cheers

This has a maximum exposure time (shutter speed) of 15 seconds. That's enough for underground shots as long as you have decent lighting and a tripod. For large dark spaces it wouldn't be long enough to light paint the whole thing. Overall though a really good camera for the price.

Shot Victoria Arches, Tiviot Dale and Sidedraught with one of these. Great for 60 quid.

Thanks for the feedback guys. How about for rooftops/cranes?

Good spot! being a newbie this seems like a good idea, can't go wrong really. And not a huge loss if its terrible! Mind showing some shots taken with it?
