Well, I've got money now.

So I want to pick up a couple of things... A scanner, and a digital cammera.

I had both, but the scanner was terrible, the images took ages to scan and the quality was not webworthy, at the very least, whilst the cam took 5 minutes to eat up my batteries. Not very happy.

But yeah. Budget of about £120-170. £180 max. But I'm thinking I should be spending £120 of it on the cam and £50 on a decent scanner.

Also, printers. I recently read an article on somewhere about them buying a print-quality (I mean posters, proper ones, A3 etc.) printer. Just wondering how much I'd have to shell out. Quite a lot, right?

On the camera, look for something above 3 megapixels. Any lower is no good. Also, make sure it has optical zoom and NOT digital. Digital zoom is rubbish as it only blows up the image and so you lose quality.
Make sure you can record videos on the camera as well.
I recommend buying it at Jessops as there is good customer service and you can get good reductions.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
