    Compact camera with Optical Zoom

    Shared looking for a point and click with a decent viewfinder... She has an iPhone, but likes the gel of being able to snap pics on a compact camera. (Standards are not very high)

    Compact camera with Optical Zoom

    My daughter is looking for a point and shoot compact camera, with a digital zoom. My budget is somewhat stretched at the moment (sub 5k)... but by options seem to be limited in SA at the moment... Only real option (reviews are mixed) seems to be the Kodak Pixpro FZ55... which I'm happy to...

    Inconsistent Network Connection

    PSU Woes

    Confirmed that the motherboard has shorted somewhere... [emoji3525] Have been quoted for the Gigabyte B550M DS3H + Wifi but Haber little idea on where that stands in the greater scheme of things. Suggestions please [emoji85]
