It has occurred to me to purchase a Digital Camer. I settled on a NIKON COOLPIX, 950. It was used via eBay and I feel I got a real good deal. I immediately went out and bought a battery charger and 8 AA NiHd [Nickel Hydride batteries]. Rechargeable batteries are a must for digital cameras. A regular set of batteries MAY last about 20 minutes of full camera use. The NiHd will last considerably longer.
