I have a lovely Fuji Finepix S5000 which takes great photos. However I like the idea of sometimes having a pocket sized camera to take good photos too. Then both Elaine and I would be armed. Our mobile phones have cameras but they are less than adequate, quality wise, only good for fun snaps and not serious photos.</div><div><br></div><div>A quick web search shows cameras like the Canon A470 (<a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/A470/A470A.HTM">http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/A470/A470A.HTM</a>) with "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; "> 3.4x optical zoom, a large 2.5-inch LCD monitor, and 7.1-megapixel CCD". This is advertised at around $130 which looks good.</span></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica">Are there any out there with Bluetooth? I can't find that function on any but the Richoh Caplio 500SE, costing more than $1000 @ <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; "><a href="http://www.shopbot.com.au/p-82051-1692264.html">http://www.shopbot.com.au/p-82051-1692264.html</a> yet almost all mobile phones now have it.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica">Any suggestions and experiences would be appreciated. </font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica">Regards</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica">Reg</font></div></div></body></html>
