Tristram, thanks for the recommendation. I'll check out the Ixus range.

I have an Ixus 750 model and it has a screen of about 2.7 inches there abouts which is about as big as most get. However the important thing is that the mode selection is by a mechanical wheel. It will take quite reasonable picture on automatic which sounds probably more like you want from it. Many of the Ixus have a TV out function, (you could even use a TV as a very large view finder) so you can view your photos on it. The Canons tend to use standard SD cards which are very cheap these days if you want something better than what gets supplied. Regards.

I don't want to spend that much! Also, I want an automatic rather than SLR.
