This was a little 'pocket camera' that I took everywhere with me. It was becoming a pain to lug the larger cameras round car rallies all day, especially when there was no need for the zoom lenses. This just slipped in my pocket. Got some great pictures with it, but sadly the ccd got a little unstable (just after a year of purchase grrrr!) but I needed decent images for the newsletter I write so needed a replacement. It was replaced by an almost identical AV200 (with amazingly flimsy battery door!). Couldn't bear to throw it away, so donated it to a friend who has, I hope, managed to get some pictures out of it (it still worked when it wanted to, albeit slowly!).
