That Sony one you have is a bit big. We have got a DSC P32 but that is about 10 years old (still going) and made like a brick. It doesn't fit in my pockets.

Canon are my favourite so far.

I can imagine - they're still around £200 ish.

My phone would probably do; see not bad for a mobile: www.flickr.com/photos/64127830@N03/5862551219/in/p...m

But no zoom, and it sucks the battery dry.

It's a Samsung Galaxy S. It doesn't fit in my pockets either!

By referring to the possibility of the joke, you already made it. You're off the xmas card list for the cheeky comments in the thread about emergency vehicles too.

You mean Booze? If you can't handle the stuff, don't touch it.

I think some scoundrel on the other site has cloned your user HJ username Bobbin...

I knew Avant was a cross dresser.

After I finish laughing....

I joined 'the other site' to see what the fuss was about. It's v. similar but more chatty.

The point of a froum is to join in duhhhh. I don't do giant long winded rants like you, twinkle.

Thanks Bonzo

Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent camera?""

I always keep up to date with 5 year old technology by selling my existing camera and buying a second hand one form ebay.. Usually little used at 15% of the new price.

Current a Panaonic DMC-LZ2. 6 x optical zoom and about 6 million pixels.

Yes I know it is out of date but it was only £20 and it came with a case and memory card..

I read all the reviews and it was OK.. At that price, it's well worth having.

Why spend £100s when the camera is out of date in 12 months and virtually worthless in 4..?

My way, I always have a new to me phone with better technology every 3-4 years at minimal cost.. (I know it' anathema to hardened consumerists but)

Now thats some weak comedy dude.

I prefer one which takes AA batteries which one can buy cheaply and almost anywhere in the World!

Yes - and if you don't use a Li-ion rechargeable often (i.e., charging it up after use) it will stop holding charge so you have to replace it anyway!
