Thanks for the feed back, I've a good SLR a CANON 350D, but I need a good compact as my Olympus C50 was with me for eight years, and took some great shots. The sliding lens cover was the 'On-Off' switch and has failed to work
I've tried using my daughters Kodak Compact since and well lets leave it at there.
So that's why I'm looking for a new one and there is so many on the market.
I'll check out the Fuji X20 & X100 & Sony RX100 as suggested.
The Rioch GR was given a good write up but never heard of Rioch
