For starters, more megapixels does not always mean a better camera. You have to take account of other things, such lens quality, and other technical details. A lower megapixel camera with a great lens, white balance, FCC (I think?), can take better pictures than a 10 megapixel camera. Using curremt exchange rates for euros (Euros correct?), it seems you want to spend about ~200 US. That will get a pretty damn solid camera, plus loads of memory.
Other things you may want to consider are things like internet connection to things like facebook and youtube, where you can directly upload pictures over wifi. Also, do you want to shoot HD film? Hell some cameras even shoot 3D photos now, not that you likely would care about that.
Also, one general rule of digital cameras is that you want lots of optical zoom and little digital. Digital usually just turns photos grainy and is rather unpleasant. Another is to consider brands. Some brands such as Kodak, generally have a solid construction, while off brands may seem nicer due to undercutting the price, but they sacrifice it through cheaper parts.
My suggestion would be this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830170368
Unless you want something specific, this takes really nice shots. I know because I bought this one as a wedding gift, and I've seen the photo quality. That would leave you plenty of money to go pick up a nice beefy 8-16GB card and even a case if you want.
Hope this helps a bit.

Interestingly, Ike can cleanly 3RKO Dehg via 4 Ragnell attacks and a single Wyrmslayer strike with a nice 8 HP to spare. Dude's a monster.

Pre Team Analysis:
Bulbasuar
Pretty much is going to solo the first part of the game until I can pick up Diglett/Dugtrio which is just in time for LT Surge. Will be pretty boss with the powders and Razor Leaf.
Diglett
Come Nice and Early. A great first pick in my honest opinion. Gets EQ naturally and I think also picks up the excellent Rock Slide via tutor. Great physical sweeper that will laugh all the way to endgame. Hopefully get one without a spd/atk reducing nature.
Horsea
An interesting pick, but I want a good water tyrpe and all the other really good sweepng waters were gone. I would of gone Tenetcuel/Cruel, but I want to mix things up a bit. Comes fairly late, so it will have to be babied a little bit.
Hitmonlee
Great Pokemon, and will probably be the third I pick up. Comes at a great level even and will due great due to bein a fighting type.
Aerodactyl
My last to get pokemon. Will pretty much be used to fly, due to the fact that it will come so late. That and the fact that I have to go to Pewter and back to get him. Thankfully HM slaves are allowed.
Magmar
I honestly needed a good fire type. May even come after Aerodactyl, due to being relocated to Mount Ember. Not a big deal though.
Koffing
My last pick. Honestly, I'm suprised he lasted so long. His only weakness is Sabrina really, and thanks to his great physical bulk and resists, he'll be handy to have around.
Onward for Great Justice!
I pick a boy, call myself Biscuit and name my rival Red for no reason. Grab the potion, lolstomp Red with my new Bulbasuar named Pimpsaur. I also do the freaking errand for Oak and nab some balls. I ignore the optional Red encounter, because it's out of the way and completely destroy the Forest. Bulbasaur hits 10 and Learns Vine Whip. Brock is already in his Grave. I kill the rest of the trainers for easy EXP.
Pewter Gym: Vine Whip Rapes. Moving on.
I pick up Sleep powder my next battle and Bulbasuar evolves the second battle. Misty is now boned. That is all for now.

Who here plays Magicka?
Fir those who don't know, see here:
TLDR: You have 8 Elements, and you combine them to kill anything. I mean anything. Thousands of combos. All in Gauntlet Style. And tons of game and movie refrences. Simply Awesome.
I love the Game. It's hilarious. And balls out fun. I'm hoping some of the forumers here play it as well so we can romp around.
Those who like what they see can pick it up for US $10 on steam.
-
I sent in my list.
-
Diglett for me.
-
Is it ok if I use an emulator?
I don't think it matters. I myself will be using one, due to the fact that both my DS and GBA are broke. As long as you don't cheat with them, I see no problem.
-
I'm biting. Woo. This will be fun. I got leafgreen myself.
-
Voclanaro. I would of picked Chandelure, but it's taken. No, it's not infuriating to get. Two ways in fact. Looking forward to more.
-
I completely forgot about this.
Let's run this tower in.Before I feed Ewan a Robe. He needs it. I also have a ton of money, so I bout three robes and rings. Woo~~ Silver Card. Sold a Master Seal I managed to get on the final. Ewan gets another robe, as does Amelia and L'Arachel. Ewan gets one ring, while L'Arachel gets two. I double checked and noticed that Ewan still had failing MAG so I bought him another Ring. Bout a physic and some more reavers and basic weaponry.
Tower 1: I leave Cormag behind. I rush this with Amelia and Ephraim with simple Iron. L'Arachel helps pick up a few kills. 3 Turns. Some enemy decided it didn't want to suicide.
Tower 2: Saleh is left behind for Cormag. HE still doesn't do much. 1 Warp use for GAR up north. Everyone else rushes East. Everything is Dead Turn 3.
Tower 3: Amelia Solo with Ewan L'Arachel splitting to go get the chest. Ewan Backs Amelia Up. 5 Turns.
Tower 4: L'Arachel Picks up Divine. And another Lightning. Nothing Else to note. Cormag starts rushing West after Ewan blicks an enemy in the way. Ephraim joins them on the North Side. Eirika runs straight North and L'Arachel and Amelia go East. Everything but one Entombed get counter killed on the fist EP. Ephraim takes that honor. 2 Turns.
I'll update this post once I finish the rest. Planning Strategies now.

Wait, you can find drilburs in that cave there? Oh! Well, I know what sidetrack I'm making now. Also, fun log. I will keep reading.
-
Warning, mine is beyond massive. No Seriously. 1920x1080 massive.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that it moves.
-
I'd recommend Duke Nukem Forever when it comes out. But other than that, I am just getting back into the PC gaming market myself. Borderlands might be fun as well.

Chapter 20
Cormag rescues Eirika and rushes boss. Everyone else does a little self improvement. 3 Turns
I actually had this done a little while ago, but I forgot to post it.
Final Chapter - Part 1
See Chapter 20, but without the Seize. Cormag and Myrrh rush Lyon this time. Everyone else kills stuff. I nab the robe and seal though. Cormag pulled some luck dodges and Pierces, which allowed 4 turns. I wanted two, but whatever.
Final Chapter - Part 2
This is it. Cormag Pierce and doubles, Ephraim takes a whack. I repair the Warp one last time and Warp GAR in for the finishing blow. He deserved it. 1 Turned.
Total in all: 205?
Apparently I had more turns than I thought.Oh well. Not bad. Now everyone else has to finish. I will do a Tower run later on, and see how I do. For now though, CHEERS!
-
Dude, he's not you.
I have another question before I start the post game. Will our turns in the tower and ruins carry over from the regular game? Or will they be counted seperately?
I think they should count separately. If I recall correctly, they tell you the turns taken at the end of each.
-
Other people who have experienced this game firsthand should post in this thread so that I will have a better understanding of the concept.
Depends on what you want to know. Do you want the battle system, or something else? It's on the PlayStation 2 BTW. Greatest Hits collection so you should be able to find it for $15 easily.
-
I'm just going to say that I'm interested in any FE8 Drafts. Also, Xander finished his play through.

Chapter 17
Crazy turn counts time. Cormag likes his new boots and talisman. Cormag rushes Lyon with a Killer Lance and a Javelin. Gerik goes east to fetch that Hero Axe. GAR! goes and fetches fimbultiver. Ewan, Eirika, Ephraim, and Amelia just self improve. Saleh continues his staff rank. Almost to B! Myrrh does nothing. Lyon dies turn 4. Go Cormag, you sexy wyvern knight. Rescue, Vidofnir get! LOL No use for Nidhogg.
Chapter 18
Yay Self improvement chapter for everyone. GAR gets the brave axe because it removes his biggest weakness. Everyone else gets outfitted with plenty of 2 range and Elixirs. Saleh picks up a divine to tank Dark Magic like a boss. Go!
Another Warp Use from L'Arachel on Cormag to get him going. More Warp and Rescue shenanigans put both at 1 use. I will Hammerene Warp. I'm unsure about Rescue. Likely though. Boss is dead turn 6. 8 Turn and everything is dead.
Chapter 19
Last FoW! And kill boss. And I know exactly where he is. 171 so far. I will spare 2 turns to net some more improvement. L'Arachel promotes! As much as Mage Knight Appeals for that lovely anima, light will allow her to tank all the gorgons so much better.Ewan gets a chest ke. I want some speed wings. Fortify sounds nice, but unnecessary. Especially if you could get one in the tower or ruins. Amelia gets some chest keys though anyways. Cormag pulls of Vidofnir for Riev screwing. Turn 3 I collected both Brave Weapons of note and defeteaded Riev. Got Speedwings, Bolting, and Runesword. Got the Light Brand, Ivaldi, and Latona.

Before the final lets take a look at my characters:
Ah Eirika, Main Lord and Convoy. She started out incredible thanks to some early blessing. She 1 rounded everything and was really durable and dodgy. Then Mid-game rears it's ugly head and she slows down big time. Her 5 move hurt her a lot, and later she was carried form destinations. Now with her Horse and epic PRF, she does fairly well, being able to double and 1RKO anything with it. She has a slight DEF blessing which is cool.
GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR!!! MVP of this run, easily. I took him just to save my early game and he did not disappoint. Early speed blessing made him 1RKO like the boss he is. He was silly durable and was beyond reliable. He stays solid through out mid game thanks to promotion. I opted WAR over Hero due to his speed blessing, and higher STR Cap. Now he car 1HKO Mogalls and 1RKO anything he doubles. What he doesn't double he can either GARm it or Brave Axe it. I was thinking of Raising his bow rank, but Hand Axes are always better anyways. Awesome till the very end. Massive blessings in SPD and SKL, partly thanks to items.
Ephraim. What is there to say? Shame he isn't aound longer. He is durable and kills everything. Since I decided the his Reginlief was needed to be Hammerne'd, he continued to destroy. Not much to say; he is just good. He's actually is screwed in DEF by 3 points.
Amelia. Oh Amelia. She was no longer dead weight thanks to new rules, and the moment she got her horse, it was all uphill from there. Then she promotes and is even FURTHER useful. Only negative is getting to her in time in Chapter 9. That and she comes right after the three that are generally better than her anyways. Mind you, she is definitely no dead pick now. Oddly enough she is mostly screwed.
My first round pick oddly enough. I got him for his durability and just being an excellent unit. Turns out he was my third best at all times. Still a great unit that I never have to worry about dieing. He is DEF screwed as well...
And this was the pick that got people laughing at me. Sure it was silly, but in the end she is worth it. No Moulder or Natasha, but she starts with a mount. The only reason she isn't an early pick is her join time. Shame. If she joined in chapter 4, she'd be a second or third round pick EASY. Endgame, she makes LOL, thanks to liberal Warp. Only weakness is that DEF/HP combo, but she is utility, so w/e. Pretty average, and that's with an early promo.
Excellent filler. He comes in and does his job and does it fine. No Pent, but Pent is in his own league. Anna didn't like him this run, but he has Excalibur to help out. Great Light and staff rank means he will still have use in CC as well. Screwed everywhere.
Ewan... Most assuredly my weakest pick. He was the number 1 cause of restarts this run. If only he decided to grow more magic. His rule now is to tank magic shots like a pro. The mount is never bad either. 6 points below average in magic. He wouldn't of been as bad if his magic kept up.
WTF CORMAG. WHY ARE YOU SO AWESOME! And that sums him up. Second place MVP by far. Funny enough, he is AVERAGE, besides a 2 point Skill blessing. Crazy. LOL Pierce.
Last but not least, Myrrh. Filler unit that destroys monsters. And she does it well. I gave her a few levels before now to help make her an invincible anti monster machine. LOL averages.
Before final I stock up on equipment. Woo 45k+ silver card in funds.
Chapter 20
Coming soon to a post near you! Cursed Mogalls with shadow shot.

Lost against RD as white on turn on turn 27. 1-0. We seem to be a good match up
Game 2 tomorrow.. -
I'm up for challenges all week. Eastern Time. Send me a PM and I'm ready to go. Also, I'll be against RD tomorrow. We've had some technical problems the last few days, and we'll be doing are game tomorrow.
-
No actually. This would be the first time I've beaten the game sub 200 turns without practically Seth soloing the game. I've noticed I have improved a lot over the course of this tourney.
Also, the rules for post game should be:
-Tower (Ruins would be difficult for some team.)
-Lowest Turn Count
-No glitches (LOL infinite Boots/Runeswords for money)
-You CAN use Stat Boosters, but a lack of money means that other things should take priority.
-Only Valter, Glenn and Riev are banned for secret characters. I'm unsure about Riev, being that slayer is nice, but that's all he has.
-Using any character not free or drafted nets a 4 Turn Penalty. Seth too now, since his godly hood has declined.
If you have complaints, voice them loudly.

Ok Here is Chapter 16
Took me long enough. I couldn't go as fast as I wanted thanks to Silver Axe Warriors and dual long range tomes. Strategy is Amelia and Ewan bum rushing with everyone else close behind. L'Arachel aims to A staves. Gerik and Amelia have chess keys for much needed wanted loot. Especially that Talisman. Saleh works on his staff rank.GAR and Myrrh stay behind and eat reinforcements. That said go!
L'Arachel Hammernes the Reginleif turn 2.
Yay, awesome PRF weapons. She nets an awesome level as well. Amelia splits from the group turn 3 to get the Tomahawk. I pull all the enemies by turn 4. L'Arachel hits A rank staves turn 5. I net all chests, route and kill Orson Turn 11. Eirika and Ephraim promote and gain better PRF weapons.159 Total
I think I might get sub 200 turns. Go me.
-
That's what I'm hoping.
Use torch and barrier and physic when available. I managed to get her to near A by "Ruled by Madness." Thankfully staff levels are easy to gain.
-
Woo, router is up and running.
Chapter 15
This one caused numerous restarts due to character death. GAR and Cormag go south. Amelia handles all the northeast, while Gerik Saleh, and Ewan handle the west. Eirika will help Amelia and then move south west. Colm and Rennec dig for buried treasure. L'Arachel just needs to abuse for physic and levels. Turn 3, Cormag rescues Eirika and heads South West. Turn 4 I get the swift soles. GAR is handling the entire south like a boss. Cormag also takes that lovely dragon axe from Eirika. Valter is OHKOd (He crits him dead for 100+ DMG) turn 8 by GAR! with a dragon axe. Turn 13 I finish after getting the master seal. Garm get! LOL Glenpir.
INTERM!
Seal is sword. Guess who promotes? Ewan and Cormag!Mage Knight and Wyvern Knight respectively. L'Arachel eats that Energy Ring I had yet to use. Old equipment is sold. Ewan eats the body ring for only -3AS wielding Excalibur. Thanks to silver card, I get lots of nicer equipment. I bought lots of Thunders, a few Elixirs, another Pure Water, A Bariier, 3 Mends, Hand Axes, and Javelins. Chest Keys too.
