I dont use vox because im already ashamed enough im addicted to an internet game, sitting there talking to my computer like a tard would just make it hell of a lot worse.

I bought a Pentaz Optio S4 a couple weeks ago.  Takes great pictures and is small enough you can carry it in you pocket.  4 megapixels, I also bought  a 256 mb flash card for it...  cost in pounds would be around 300-320 not including the upgraded memory card

Edit-I stand corrected on the price..I just checked Amazon and found this

Old? I'm 23...  :D

But I did recently get a chance to see a 109 up close for the first time. As they were with me at the museum, I'll let SOB and MiniD describe my reaction...  :cool:

I have the Cannon A60 that I got in a package deal on Ebay.  I LOVE IT.  Probably for the price range your looking at you can afforde the A70.  The camera is easy to use and has a bunch of nice features.  I'm planning on getting the wide angle lenz adapter for it soon.  Here's an example of a cool feature...it has a stitch mode that lets you take a panoramic of up to 360 degrees...than puts all the pics together via software



IMO its a great camera and I'd give anyone looking for one a good recomendation


PS about the batteries I have yet to run down my rechargables...and I've used it quite a bit

No need to post pics guys.  The test isn't how good a 1024x768 photo looks... my sony 1.2 mpixel camera can do that quality on a 1024.  It's what kind of detail it can grab when making bigger pics that matters.

Canon is far better than Nikon and you'd need 5 mega pixels for a half decent 8 x 10.
