Thanks again,
I did look at SLR cameras, mainly to use the variety of lenses I have already. However because they are all manual focus, they are as much use as a braille porno mag.
With the price of an entry level digital SLR in the region of £750 (body only), it's a little too pricey.
Fortunately the small one that I have, has the ability to be manipulated however I choose.......That's my camera I'm talking about.
Agreed, lots of pics jpg mode, TIFFS seem to love battery power.
Off to do some shooting,
