Fuji FinePix Z1 Digital Camera
Fuji FinePix Z1 Digital Camera ..... a very compact digital camera. all metal body with sliding lens cover doubling as on/off switch. 5Mp is more than adequate for most point-and-shoot purposes. This specific model now discontinued/replaced but consequently available from number of sources at knockdown prices. Originally £170+ now can be bought for around £75 - some new, some refurbished by manufacturer. Highly recommended for always-in-yer-pocket camera which is robust and yet produces very competent images.

VCR-DVD Combos - ideal media changeover solution
Panasonic DMR-ES30V DVD Recorder / VCR Combo
Whilst DVDs still hold most of the centre ground of TV recorded and recording media, with hard drives in various forms making their play for the next step in digital TV recoording, give a thought for the many, many people who still have a vast library (albeit on large, clunky tapes) of VHS recordings.
A VHS-DVD recorder combo allows for: a)playing of old VHS media. b) recording digitally onto W/R DVDs. c) dubbing of favourite old VHS reordings onto DVD for digital storage. d) re-recording on both VHS and DVD. e) recording of 2 programmes at once etc.
The Panasonic DMR-ES30V DVD Recorder/VCR Combo is a fantastic machine and prices on standard machine seem to be falling fast (latest model has Freeview built in).
VHS, and eventually DVD, is obviously on its way out but this will help to tie things over and fill the media-gap until we'll all using hard drives or whatever replaces them!
