Asda just made buying gadgets easier

I am a fan of internet shopping. But I don't like to buy unseen, so I went into asda recently about a digital camera that I was considering buying for someone's birthday. And I have to say, they weren't the best help, but luckily my knowledge helped me and I soon realised that I had a huge deal in front of me. A Fujifilm camera with 10.2MP and loads of features reduced to £75 from £125. With multi-buy discount it ended up quite a bit cheaper than that as well (if you subtract all the multi-buy onto it) but it really was quite a bargain. Of course, this is just an exception. There are many times when online stores are cheaper than instore shops, but nothing beats having a hands on. I have to say that supermarkets are a great place to buy gadgets: the atmosphere is nice and really laid back. Can I also say that I got a 4GB SDHC memory card for just £7! A great deal all around. So, if you are looking for a bargain deal and don't like online buying, try your local supermarket, you'll be surprised what it has in store.

J27?
Hmmm, not such a great deal after all.
Lacking in aperture and shutter speed controls. Only digital zoom and at that to 3x....
Hmmmmmm. Is there RAW capabilities on it?

Wow, in comparable terms at certain ISOs you only have a recorded no. of 3Megapixels. Ouch.

Holy shit man, no manual focus? You got duped mate.

The camera wasn't for me, personally, I would want those features. But the person it was bought for just uses it for parties and stuff so didn't need that. It was a 3x optical zoom though, not digital. Even my friend doesn't deserve digital.

Optical should be prefered over digital
