Hi Rob,

If you dont like taking the Laptop out then your left with either a Film Camera or Digicam, i personally would recommend an Olympus OM-1 if a film camera is what you want or Digital Camera Slr a Canon 350 or 300D although these will cost quite a bit more also if your just starting out with Digital Camera's the Nikon Coolpix 4500 is Ideal.

What Budget are you looking at and is it Digital Or Film you would prefer?

Thanks

James :)

I have to agree with James, film is a major pain in the butt when it comes to prime focus photography - the low light levels means that it's difficult to focus and you can't check the results till you have the film developed. But on the upside a film shot of something IMO always looks really nice.

Digital SLR's connect to the camera in the same way as a film SLR, but has the advantage of being able to see the results straight away - very helpfull with fous. The 300D is very good and so is the 350D.

Hope this helps
