I have plumped for the Canon A70 - it uses AA batts and CF cards, so sits quite sensibly with the *istD and she can keep a pack of lithiums or even alkalines in the car in case she runs out of charge when out. Got a pretty cheap price too, and handy that it is Xmas soon - I can combine it with that. Just gotta keep her off my *istD till then!
