i know this is posted every third monday, but searching the threads wasn't getting me anywhere..
so i'll try posting:
first of all i don't understand why cameras can't be charged the way mobile phones are charged...
i have a 3G telephone with a brilliant built-in camera (sony ericson phone with a 3.1 megapixel cybershot camera)....like many phones, i just plug it into a wall socket to charge (using the special cable that came with the phone)...
are there cameras that charge the same way?
or are all of them either with regular batteries (e.g. AA) or with lithiums that have to be charged separately from the camera in a special charging unit?
ok and now for the camera recommendation itself -
this is what i'm looking for:
-- not too expensive (this is for my daughter's trip to japan - yes i know, coals to newcastle, but she has to have it before she leaves on sunday)
-- compact (very thin/flat - as little bulk as possible).
-- it would be good to have a viewfinder as well as a screen but not critical
-- a still camera that also takes video clips (with sound)
i'm sure there's more but that's what i can think of at this moment...
