For everything up to & including Orkney etc. we used our point&shoot Olympus ยต [mju:]-II ZOOM 115 (http://www.photo.net/olympus/mjuII), mostly with 400ASA film. The Orkney etc. ones we had put immediately to cdr (all pics before that I scanned - exhausting). As Orkney etc.'d had us come back with 14 rolls of film, for Knoydart we'd decided on digital, the Canon PowerShot S70, with a 1GB Extreme III CompactFlash SanDisk card. It's 7 megapixels and a spiffing machine! (http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/s70.html) It's point & shoot, but it has all the manual stuff to if you want it (so price-wise its a couple of steps up from the Olympus). It's on the heavy end of the lightweight ones, but it has a wide-angle lens, which is stellar for indoor shoots. But really, the detail you can get with that machine!
