Compact digital cameras use converging technologies and the current
crop are quite impressive. Having said that I agree with Stephen, you
really can't go past a canon, they always consistently produce
excellent photos.
I think their lens technology is actually superior to most other makes.

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
