We have this every few months and I have looked back through the other recommendations in here but what are the latest thoughts on digital cameras?
I have a Konica 2meg at the minute but want a better one for Las Vegas. The delay between switching on and being able to zoom on my Konica is too long. It takes a few seconds to get warmed up.
I want optical zoom (at least 3x) and would prefer removable batteries (2xAA) same as the one I have now. I'd rather carry spare AAs than have the battery run out on my when I am out for the day.
No real thoughts on the resolution I want. Probably around 4-5meg will be sufficient.
I'd like one that is small enough to fit in my pocket too. The Konica is a bit chunky for that. Oh, and I'd like it to cover the lens when switched off. The Konica doesn't do that either.
One thing I will say for my current camera though is I got it because the viewfinder is linked to the lens, which I really like. I am a traditionalist and still use the view finder to take photos rather than the LCD screen to capture the image. So I would like another with the viewfinder linked to the lens. Anyone know how this is described in the product blurbs so I know what I am looking for?
