Hi Reg,
I have had 2 Cannon's and did not realise how good they are until my son brought his Fuji Finepix over one night to download his holiday pics into iPhoto.

He commented about straight away in picture quality.
The shots taken with the Cannon were far better than the Fuji photos.
PS: At that time they were both 3.2MP cameras (so it was apples for apples .. no pun intended)

Hi All

I'm interested in your ideas on a good quality inexpensive compact digital camera. I have a lovely Fuji Finepix S5000 which takes great photos. However I like the idea of sometimes having a pocket sized camera to take good photos too. Then both Elaine and I would be armed. Our mobile phones have cameras but they are less than adequate, quality wise, only good for fun snaps and not serious photos.

A quick web search shows cameras like the Canon A470 (http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/A470/A470A.HTM ) with " 3.4x optical zoom, a large 2.5-inch LCD monitor, and 7.1- megapixel CCD". This is advertised at around $130 which looks good.

Are there any out there with Bluetooth? I can't find that function on any but the Richoh Caplio 500SE, costing more than $1000 @ http://www.shopbot.com.au/p-82051-1692264.html yet almost all mobile phones now have it.

Any suggestions and experiences would be appreciated.

Regards

Reg
