Cheers Sam. After reading about the camera it might be worth a closer look, sorry about that :) All I'm after us a decent pic in all lights, not something pro quality.
Re the battery it might just be my iphone although this is my 3rd 4s, but if I use it normally it definitely won't last a long day, sometimes not even a short one, on one charge. It's a real pain. I can drag it out by going airplane mode, turn off various things like notifications etc, however I really don't think that's good enough in this day and age is it? Anyway I shall stop moaning and fretting and get back in my box.
