Hi All,

I am interested in a 'pocketable' digi-cam with reasonable quality
(for typical indoor / outdoor 'snapshots'), good battery life (ideally
replaceable if not std cells) with expandable memory and not a fortune
(so ~£100 etc) please?

Better pictures than yer typical camera-phone[1] and not as bulky as
what you might take out for real 'photography'?

It doesn't need to be truly rugged or waterproof as such (but it
would be nice if it still fits the remit above), the sorta thing you
might carry with you to record those before and after d-i-y / work
shots and not need to really mollycoddle (but not meaningfully abuse
ether of course).

What is in *your* pocket? ;-)

A mate of mine has a ruggedised camera that is reasonably pocketable,
a Panasonic one of some variety I believe. Not sure of the price or
model, but it does seem to have resisted a fair few knocks, scrapes,
splashes and bumps. It's black, with the screen pretty much filing the
rear. http://www.panasonic.co.uk/ may find it.
