I remember buying my first, second - even third digital camera, and being _so_ excited about it! Probably helped that not so many people had them in the "good old days", and they weren't a dime-a-dozen - they really were a bit special. Oh well, onwards and upwards. 3G iPhone in May! *sigh*

It's not average in functionality - it's everything you said and great value for money. It has an average fun factor. Let me clarify…

It’s not average in functionality – it’s everything you said and great value for money.

It has an average fun factor.

What more do you want it to do? It takes fantastic photos and decent video, it's small, lightweight, has a massive battery life, built in image stabilisation, it starts pretty much instantaneously, sports USB2 out, and even has a 4x optical zoom - quite rare for little cameras! The only feature that it's possibly missing is wifi - would be nice to be able to sync without having to plug it in. I stand by my recommendations! :-D Hmmm, well, maybe – but at the end if the day, it’s a camera. What more do you want it to do?

I expect more from my gadgets these days. The camera is very average. I expect more from my gadgets these days.

Was the camera not a good gadget, or did it just not get as much attention as the others? “All – except for the camera – have been outstanding gadgets and have all received a fair amount of attention.”

I've gone through two Canons and an Olympus in the space of two years. I got the Olympus because it was meant to be shock proof, water proof, everything proof but we still managed to damage it so badly it had to be replaced with a brand newie(thank goodness it was still under warranty)! The quality of the images on the Olympus doesn't compare with the Canon though - I miss my Canon! Ben, we have a similar problem with cameras except we break them as opposed to losing them!
