Sony P72 is very highly regarded by the photography press - excellent image quality

Just had a look at it. Looking for something a bit smaller. Quite like the look of the Casio QVR 40, 4.0m pixels and quite small!

the casio qvr40 is a very nice little camera, good value for £200 too if you can find it at that.

I've been looking at this one. Seems to have all the features of ones for twice its price, just not the best make.

Optical zoom is the physical movement of the lens, Digital is what the chip inside the lens will think it's gonna look like.
Basically with it not having optical, it's the chip inside the Camera doing all the work, therefore, the picture on the LCD will be shite.
You will basically have no useful zoom.
The point i'm trying to make is that you need a camera with optical zoom

I'm not sure to be honest with ya, never actually been asked that (work at Currys ) So i couldn't tell ya that, sorry.
I would say that optical will probably be better quality on PC to, but like i say, not sure
