I'd like a cheap digital camera to use when I'm out noting things for mapping purposes; our existing camera eats batteries.
Features I'd like: * Rechargable battery * Optical viewfinder - I struggle to see the LCD display on our current camera in high light levels. * Optical zoom higher if possible. * Takes memory cards rather than relies on internal memory * Megapixel isn't really too important. As long as I can take a photo of a streetsign with optical zoom from the opposite side of the road, that should probably be fine. I don't intend printing these images after all. * Splashproof would perhaps be useful if cycling in the rain, though I guess this adds to cost and low cost is important (after all - I do have *a* digital camera, and have to justify the cost of any other). Can anyone suggest either a camera or a good comparison website. I tried Jessops who are overpriced, Amazon that don't have optical viewfinder as a data item and Dabs whose website was down. The Jessops site suggested that I can probably do without the splashproof requirement... Alternatively if anyone can recommend some good quality, reasonably priced, high capacity rechargeable AA batteries that work well in their digital camera then that may work out a cheaper option.
