Re: Cameras!
I run with two Sony cameras one is the DSC-F828, it is now four years old, but I have taken some really nice pictures with it, the other one is a newer camera to fit in my pocket. this is the DSC-W200 12 megapixels, ok it helps that daughter in law works at Sony and I get a discount but they are great camera's.

Re: Cameras!
Get one with a viewfinder as trying to see anything in the screen when the sun is shining is impossible

Re: Cameras!
I went to Carrefour yesterday but couldnt see anything that would suit us, so I will go to our local electrical shops either today or tomorrow.
Thanks for the tip on the view finder, because most of the photos will be taken in the sun
Thanks to everyone else for their advice, and especially VT for being very patient on messenger

Re: Cameras!
Unless you're thinking of taking serious photos, a digital SLR is probably overkill as they are not as portable as the small point and shoots. If you just need a decent little camera to slip in your handbag then Jumbo had quite a range for under 100 Euros. I don't know if there's one near you but we go to the one in Faro.

For the money I think this little camera is incredible, the battery life is so incredibly long you forget you have to charge it, it has a big LCD screen and a small viewfinder, it also doubles as a video camera and will capture sound and vision, not just for small clips but for the entire memory, it has loads of pre sets to make life easier on both camera and video, also 3 times optical zoom, all squeezed in a package 9cm x 6cm x 2.5cm thick.
Well recommended, oh and by the way , it takes great pictures.

I have a nikon SLR and love it. Though if i was in the market for a pocket camera any canon will be more than upto the job.
