Kodak DX 4530 (http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=9/19/131/1155&pq-locale=en_GB)

Ohhhh. 5MP camera for less than 200 quid.

I'm thinking of buying:

Canon Digital IXUS II (http://www.koopdigitaal.nl/info.phtml?merk=Canon&qty=2443&maincat=Cameras_Canon&type)

or:

Canon PowerShot A-70 incl. accuset + lader (http://www.koopdigitaal.nl/info.phtml?merk=Canon&qty=4264&maincat=Cameras_Canon&type)

Bostin': Quaint term in use in the previously industrial Midlands. Means excellent, great, smashing, super.

As in "That fish supper had bostin' mushy peas"

Grammatical rules prevent it being used close to "Wolves" or "Milton Keynes" ;)

In other words, the Canon A70 is a great camera. 2 Paws up.
