New camera
I have had an excellent Minolta Dimage Z1 camera for a couple of years, but the 10X zoom makes it really heavy and awkward to carry so I tend not to take it with me. In particular there’s no way to carry it in the gadget pocket of my everyday rucksack, or my bum bags or pocket. As a result I have been after something that:
- Uses rechargeable batteries – cheap to run
- Has a docking station for charging and USB connectivity – easy to use and always ready
- Has a USB mass storage interface – no drivers or other software to install
- Used SD cards – which I have plenty of
- Is small and light
- Is robust enough to not need a carry case
- Is cheap
Ebay came to the rescue again and I managed to find a Nikon Coolpix S2 for
