I noniced a camera listed in a couple peoples EDC list when I searched. I'm interested in knowing if you EDC a camera and if so what model.
My wife EDC's our Nikon CoolPix 5600 but its only 18 months old and the battery door ir cracked and its all scratched and worn so it hasn't held up very well. Then it takes videos in quicktime format and I tried to download and install the quicktime player at my parents house only to be forced to install itunes and so much other crap that I gave up after the 12th reboot. Its also slow, the flash can take 10 seconds to re-charge which seems to be a common complaint among the <$200 P&S cameras.
So I bought her a nice high end camera, but qiality comes at a price and the price is size, she can't edc it in her purse any more. We have a pair of camera phones and the pictures are OK but low resolution, thek kind of look like the pictures you get from a Sony camera so they are not working real well as a supplement to the big camera.
So I'm going back to thinking about small pocketable cameras, maybe like the Canon digial Elpf series but all those use a propritary Lithium Ion battery so you have the up front cost of a spare battery and then have the ongoing cost of replacement batteries in a couple years. Maybe a better camera phone, are there any, most I see are VGA resolution.
So wat does everyone else use?
