OT- camera recommendations

Guy, I would recommend the HP cameras. I have a C20, now superceeded, but especially for web work they are excellent, and are pretty cheap now. The C30 is being discounted here in the UK, but all the various HP models seem to be variations on a theme as far as I can tell. Its pretty much automatic, is rugged, not too large, and has a glass viewfinder as well as an LCD(absolutely essential unless you plan to buy shares in Duracell)
Without comparing to a 35mm print, 6 x 4 prints from my C20 come out well (Though 35mm is defintely superior viewed side by side), so its good for the occasional print as well.

I'm now waiting for the next generation 4M pixel cameras due later next year to get that quantum leap in quality (the HP is 1M pixel and you wouldnt want to go below that, IMHO)
