Point and Shoot

it can be thrown in my bag and forgotten about essentially.

And then when you remember to fish it out the battery will be flat
My advice? Buy a bigger bag. those candid shots are often the best and need to be good quality imo.

It looks like BB is full of Canon Ixus fans hehehe

Thanks guys, I think that will be my starting point with comparisons.

My advice - get a waterproof, shockproof jobby. I love our underwater photos from summer holidays with the family and if it really will be in your bag 24/7 it will get a bit of a bashing.
