Hi Mick, It’s the one I wanted to replace some time back. An old Sony DSC-S85 Cyber shot rated at 4.1 Mega pixels. It’s bulky but easy to use especially in bad weather when I’ve got gloves on. A lot of the pictures taken during the bad weather on Sunday were a little to blue due to the normal exposure problems and the fact that I was trying to stay on my feet.

A 16MB Memory Stick gives me 94 shots at 100 ISO on a fine setting or 236 shots on a standard setting. It’s only failed me twice when I’ve put on the ground on summit of Helvellyn when the cold at ground level drained the battery completely. It’s been a good piece of kit that’s had a few knocks and been dropped in snow, water and sheep droppings and still works perfectly in anything from rain and gale force winds, to scorching sun down to a blizzard on Sunday….
