This is the one you need then hxxp://www.samsungcamera.com/product/pro_view.asp?prol_uid=3933&cat_uid=12

5x zoom and 8 MP should help...

That does look perfect....except the price!

I live on what you guys probably call a 'veterans pension' (yes before I moved here in semi-retirement, I was in the military for many years....driving 'airplanes') and with the way things are at present, there is no way I could find 250 euros to buy one. Possibly when my current camera 'bites the dust'.....or should that be sand!! I will consider it.

The i6 was less than half that. There is always a chance it will get smashed by some angry boyfriend too! Try claiming that on your insurance!!!
There, I told you I would shoot down any suggestions, but thanks all the same. Anyone fancy a whip-round to buy me a OCC camera
