I need some camera advice!! Please !!!!

Here is the deal I am going on a trip to London England this summer and I would
like to know your opinion on what kind of camera I should take. I currently own
a cannon point and shoot camera. I also own a Kodak DC 4800 Digital camera with
a 64mb and a 16mb CF card. Some options I was thinking of:

#1 Take my cannon camera and that is it.
#2 Take both the cannon and Kodak digital, and use digital the battery runs out (don’t take too long either)

#3 buy another CF card (I am looking at 256mb one) and buy an external 1-hour
charger & battery kit and a voltage converter kit (I am guessing $200 - $250 or so for the
lot)

#4 take the 200 I would have spent on accessories to make my digital camera work over in London and add a few more dollars to it and buy a good regular camera.

If I chose option 4 I am not sure what kind of camera I would get. Those SLR cameras look neat I just wonder how hard it is to get a good picture out of them. Or is SLR outdated technology and maybe I should go for an APS camera. At any rate I would like a camera with a zoom if I bought a new one.


I would appreciate any advice you may have on this subject...

Thank you,

Well any help would be appreciated..... And talking smack would be an added bonus.....

What happened to twilight ..... And will twilight be back?

Do you have a charger for the digital now? If so, could you get by with just a voltage converter ($25 or so) and keep it charged up? You should be able to get 256 MB of CF for around $100, which I would think would be useful anyway.

She was banned a while ago for being useless and insensitive. She won't be back.

I currently charge the battery in the camera (3 hr) and Kodak said not to do that if I take it to London. Because of the risk of blowing the camera up, Also I would need to get another battery too if I wanted to be able to take all of the pix on the 256mb card I can just barely fill the 64mb card on one charge. That LCD. eats the power…
And the newer charger only takes 1 hour to charge, but the cheapest I have been able to find it is 79.00 + shipping… ouch…
