I think I'll shortly be investing in a few sets of rechargeable batteries.
I've used 8 normal Duracell just this morning.
But still a great bit of kit.

Soon I'll be ready to copy loads of pictures to a memory stick for my father in law.
His family got him a digital picture frame a few years back that he's never used.
He's looking forward to going through all his photos and selecting which pictures he wants.

I got the Flip Pal.
It's as good as Your Tree Searcher said it would be.  Many thanks for the recomendation.

Thanks again to everyone for their suggestions.

Father Christmas gave me one too...........and it is very good, in fact some of the images are better than the original, and the stitching facility is excellent, I have been playing with it for a while, have been going through a tin of old documents and photos with really great results ............

I am considering buying a Flip Pal portable scanner (complete self indulgence  . I don't plan to do any fancy stuff with it just scan photos and certificates, so the stitch thingy will be useful to get the whole image, but what I want to know is whether the £130ish version is sufficient by itself or whether I need to spend the extra £30 for the Digital Creativity Suite 3.0. I would really appreciate some advice. Chrisann

If you don't have a photo editing programme & you want an online tree then a £30 punt might be worth it.However there are free editing progs. & online trees out there so if you're working to a budget you don't need it.

Thanks Jim. I think I'll save my £30 then. Chrisann
