This is such a cool idea given that most of our photos are now digital. It is a portable, digital photo album about the size of a paperback with a flip open leather cover and a great 7″ screen to view your photos on.

It holds up to 40,000 images on its 4GB internal memory, most of my holiday snaps then, and can be expanded up to 20GB using a 16 GB SDHC card.

You can scroll through the photos yourself or use the funky slideshow function. You can also set up different albums to keep all your different shots nice and organised.
It comes in a variety of colours; tan and silver, black and pink an black and silver. 

Price £169.

So if you fancy yourself as an aspiring Henri Cartier-Bresson, (and have got lots of spare cash!!) then check out the classic limited edition M8 camera from Leica. Mmmmm, me me me.

It is such a sexy looking camera, covered in smooth nappa cowhide and finished wth white lacquer. It also uses scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass in the screen making it durable too.  It’s 10.8 megapixel and has Leica’s trademark wide-angled lens, pretty retro looking.

Now for the good bit, it costs £5,990 but does come with a white leather carry case, which softens the blow- Not!

Yehhh, finally a digital camera that prints instant foties to replace the original old skool polaroid camera from back in the day. The new Polaroid Pogo is a 5.0 mega pixel camera and prints 2″ x 3″ fotos on sticky back paper. You can also crop your pics before printing, add borders, remove red eye and print dates. The whole process takes about 40 secs so not much waiting around if you want some instant fun.

Other specs include 4x digital zoom, an electronic timer, movie mode with sound, SD memory card slot, USB PC hook-up and various shooting modes. It prints only 15 fotos per full battery charge so you gotta be selective about what your snapping if you’ve not got easy access to a charger.

It comes complete with 10 sheets of Zink photo paper, replacement packs will set you back £7.95 for 30 sheets and £17.95 for 70 sheets.

The new Polaroid PoGo instant digital camera goes on sale at www.firebox.com  on 11 May for £229.95.

The Sanyo Xacti VPC- WH1 is a waterproof dual camera, which means it’s sort of a digital camera/camcorder combo. It records HD video (1280×720) as well as taking good quality stills (2megapixel). It also has Sanyo’s advanced waterproof technology making it waterproof up to a depth of 3 metres so is great for filming watersports like swimming, snorkelling, snowboarding.

Other features include a 30 x optical zoom, 50 x digital zoom and it records to SD card so easy to transfer files to other devices. Looks pretty neat too.

It’s available in white, blue and yellow online at www.play.com for around £380.

This little camera is a gem. It is a simple, stylish number that you can take anywhere.
 
It has 8 mega pixels so the picture quality won’t let you down and there are a whole host of features for those of you who want to play around with your snaps.
 
The menus are bright and clear and all the key controls are at your fingertips. It has a 4 x digital zoom, dual movie mode and mega optical image stabiliser.
 
I love the 2.5 inch screen and it just looks good too.
 
Panasonic have made the DMC FS3 available in a choice of colours; black, blue, pink and silver and it retails at £135.

If you want slightly more in the mega pixel and zoom department then the FS3 has a big sister the FS5 which is only slightly more at around £165
 
Seems like a bargain to me.
