Day a Page diary
Just what is needed to log the drivers and clients for our Good Neighbours helpline.
We do not need a full page for the weekend.

Konica Minolta DiMage Xt digital camera
3 of 3 found this helpful The reason I bought two of these cameras is that I am setting a challenge for my American grandchildren during the summer holidays when they stay with me.
Thus the criteria were, as cheap as possible combined with a good camera.
I researched the reviews of various cameras on eBay that met my budget via usual search engines. I usually consulted more than one reviewer. This enabled me to obtain detailed reasons why one camera was better than another for my purpose.
I required a camera with excellent picture quality. In fact this camera has TIFF uncompressed file saving which means that the pictures can be manipulated in the computer without loss of clarity, especially important as the camera is only 3 megapixels. The camera is also very compact, easy for small boys to carry around and the controls are suitable for small fingers. The 3 x optical magnification is provided by a lense system inside the camera, thus if dropped the camera is likely to survive the experience.
The pictures I have taken so far have been very good and I am very pleased with the camera. There are two downsides - it is very easy to grasp the camera by the unprotected screen - it seems that screws drop out, at least one is missing from one camera and two from the other. This does not seem to effect the operation at all. If saving TIFF images, be sure to have a large SD card to save them on, at least 256 mb.
Another advantage of this camera is that it has an AV lead which enables photos to be displayed on a TV screen, very useful on holiday.
