I was in Tescos earlier and i live in a city which has one of the really big 24 hour Extra ones. I counted well over 60 cameras on display and i had a little look round and liked quite a few. Some of them were around £200 but i can always price them online and try get them a bit cheaper. The last time i bought a digital camera was around 5/6 years ago and i paid £50+ for it. It was a Vivitar 3mp camera and it did the job, gave me nice quality pictures.
The one problem i didn't enjoy was when i took a picture, you had to wait a second before the flash came and then around 3 seconds later it brought up the picture and then wait another 10 seconds with a blank screen before it reloads and you can take another picture. This annoys me because it is hard to take pictures and explain to people that they they need to keep their pose after the flash goes off so that i can check the image and make sure it turns out ok. Most of the time it doesn't turn out ok. I also go to various sporting shows throughout the year and notice loads of people with their fancy new phones and cameras and because there are so many i end up looking at their LCD screens and their snapping away and taking lots of pics. Are all cameras like that now or is there a certain name for what i described earlier? The cameras i was looking at were 12mp ones so there is a huge increase in quality. Family photos would be great but i would like to go to these shows i go to and get some decent pics. Do you think i should make the upgrade?

Atleast for my canon 940is. 2GB~10minutes. That being said 8+GB cards are cheap now, and filming over 40 minutes with such a camera is not that likely on most trips. Its enough for the short clips you do use it for. 8GB on sale now is only a few quid, only will get cheaper as time goes on so the space issue is fading fast. But yes, nothing beats the slr large size sensor.
