No surprise, really, given how I've treated it. I'm not interested in paying £400 for one (I need to learn to look after one properly first...) so a decent point and shoot, preferably with a SD card slot, up to about £150. Any suggestions?

Small screen, so doesn't use up too much battery power. There will be an up to date version of it around and Argos do a good price However if you have big manly hands then its not for you, dinky fingers needed _________________ Am a Wee Glasgow Bissom ye know! :) Look wit the wind blew in! :P Back to top Fjord Dodgy Scandinavian Joined: 02 Aug 2007 Posts: 989 Location: Lesjaskog, Norway Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 11:47 pm    Post subject: I had a Pentax Optio S just like wee minx but it came a cropper recently Loved it so I did, was great for discrete pics due to it's size.

Any opinions? James H _________________ Happiness ain't at the end of the road - Happiness *IS* the road...
