My current camera is a compact Casio EX S600, its a good camera overall as its small and produces some fairly good pictures (probably not when compared to the really expensive cameras), although its a lot better than those cheaper cameras around (by this i mean the £20-40 ones which are 3.1 - 5 Megapixels but the camera lenses aren't that good, as i found out with previous cameras). I mainly use it for pictures (but i rarely take the larger shots because of the filesize), and video.
Although i do have plans of getting the Casio EX S880 for the more features it has over the S600, and that it takes both the same SD cards and the same battery (so i'll have a spare!). The main advantage is that its about the size of a credit card (but obviously thicker than one)
(just like the picture below, although mine is blue. I do also have the silver one which still works technically, although i had to replace it because rain got into the lcd screen and it would have costed more than the camera)

When I set up my fotopic site in December 2005 (link coming up, or available in the signature), I was using a Kodak CX6330. But in June 2007, I graduated to my present camera, a Fuji Finepix S9600. I still use the Kodak occasionally (when the battery can be bothered to work), and I use both cameras to record video clips for YouTube (channel link in the signature) as well.

I use my mobile phone which has a 5mp camera TV quality VGA video camera and Internet to upload photos to fotopic on the go quality looks quite good to.
Im using the Nokia N95 at the moment which has Carl zeiss optics and has 10 times digital zoom I dont like digital zoom but some of the photos taken with the zoom look ok but with the the 4GB memoey card you can take 9000 photos so at a steam railway I can take as many as I want and even some movies to.
I do have a cannon powershot thats only 3mp but has 3x optical zoom my dad has a cannon camcorder with 25x optical zoom but the stills it takes are not that good.
Hers what sort of videos you can take on my phone
