I've had an lympus with an 8x zoom for several years now. take good pix. However it is a bit on the large side so at the weekend I popped into Tescos where they are knocking out their own brand digital for less than 20 quid. 3.1megapixels, 8x digital zoom and it fits into a pocket. 10 quid for a 1 gig memory card and bob's your uncle. I will still take the Olympus for proper shots but the little one can go everywhere.
