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? ;-)

All the best ..

[1] I know some phones have pretty good cameras on them now days but
we don't have / want such a phone ta.


Sony DSC-N2. This is a very good camera for its purpose - typical
of what you describe. Unfortunately,like a lot of things, the price
is heavily marked up in the UK. I bought mine for the equivalent of
about £130 duty and VAT free outside the UK.
