RE: Nikon Coolpix 990 - WAS Homtech...

I've got a digital IXUS, great little camera I now use this as my main
camera although I am not very impressed with the battery life (it is a
small
battery in fairness) but I cannot seem to find out if the charger is
"worldwide " voltage converting for use abroad and I cannot find
a car
charger for it.

The initial 8 meg CF card is also not that great as you only get about 12
pics at normal resolution and 4 at mega pixel.

That's about all the criticism I can level at the cutest, coolest little
digital camera available!

I'm trying to get my missus to agree to me selling my Olympus 3030 (which
travels *EVERYWHERE* with me in my bag with my - now batteryless - laptop)
and getting an Olympus E10 for the times that I want a "good"
camera and a
Canon Digital IXUS to lob in my bag to carry aroud with me.

Maybe I'm wierd but I find them immensely usefull - a visual dictaphone if
you will.

I used it a lot when we were looking for furniture and appliances for the
house ... saves endless arguments about what shape legs something had or
what the handles were like. I've used it to take photos of an accident and
sent the pics on CDR to both parties and even have some of a lorry fire on
my way in to work one morning which turned out as I got closer to be quite
gruesome as it was carrying pigs!
