Have taken to collect earlier point-and-shoot digital cameras. They take surprisingly fine images for their era. They are compact, easy to use as well.
A really big thanks to all the folk at Digital Camera Magazine for using an image of mine on the front cover of the August 2011 issue. A mug shot on page five too!....how embarrassing.

This is the "HP Photosmart 120". It is a simple, point-and-shoot digital camera released in the early 2000s as part of Hewlett Packard's line of Photosmart digital cameras. The 120 was released in 2002 and sports a jaw dropping 1 Megapixel resolution!
Specs:
-1 MP CMOS Censor
-1 inch backlit LCD screen
-Compact Flash compatible
-4 MB internal memory can hold up to 10 pictures (in "best" mode)
-Requires 4 AA batteries
While the camera itself is very simple to use, the image quality is not great even for a 1 MP camera. Colours appear dull and picture are overly grainy. The image quality seems to vary depending on the amount of light available. Outdoors, in bright and sunny conditions seem to yeild the sharpest pictures. While pictures taken indoors tend to look dark and pixilated (perhaps this is the result of some sort of automatic exposure feature in which the camera adjusts for indoor conditions? - i.e. - higher ISO and/or shutter speed to compensate for lower light). The built-in flash isn't much help either as it had a tendency to make pictures washed out.
I think this was one of the first digital cameras I ever saw in stores. There was a camera store near me called Blacks, and one time there was a salesman giving a demonstration, boasting about all the advantages of digital photography. The camera cost around $400 (at the time you could buy an entry-level 35mm SLR for the same amount) and I was not impressed with the picture quality. It was not until digital cameras got into the 5-6 MP range that I finally bought one.

The Croydon Tramlink bears no relationship to the previous tramway in this location, abandoned in 1952. This new system, opened in 2000, consists of 39 stops along 28 km of track under 750v DC wires. The four lines, sharing tracks at some places, converge at Croydon Centre, where trams use a clockwise one-way circular route. The Tramlink meets British Rail as well as TfL Overground stations. It extends from Wimbledon in the west to Beckenham Junction in the east. Croydon Tramlink is the third most travelled light rail system, after Tyne & Wear Metro and London Docklands.
• East Croydon Station A perennial problem with trams and interchanges is pedestrian cross traffic. Some foot passengers seemed oblivious to the danger, stopping only when the trams were dangerously close or after a gentle toot from the driver.
