After reading that Majoli article multiple times I picked up an Olymous c5050. The 32mb SmartMedia card it came with only has space for 26 shots, reminded me of something. This is basically how Sunday happened for me...

^^ Tim Walker was excellent

Replaced my damaged Leica D-Lux 5 with an LX7. The extra features, and the faster lens are great, but it's not quite the same somehow.
Not had much of a play with it yet, but it's definitely going to suit my needs perfectly, while I'm back on the boat.

One from the weekend:

I like that, bit of tension there.

yep, nice that

I'm looking for a fairly cheap compact digital camera.

I currently have a 10 year old Sony cybershot, 7 Megapixel camera. Back then I think it was pretty good. But I don't even use it any more.

I'm know very little about photography, I pretty much only use the auto mode, I know very little about it, I just want to take some pictures for facebook, etc.

So any recommendations on what to look for, something that should take fairly good point-and-click pictures, but also not too expensive (not more than a couple of hundred quid)

I mean, i guess a direct upgrade would be something like this, £100 would be a good price for me:

Sony W690 High Zoom Compact Camera - Black 3 inch LCD: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

The Canon Elph line is good for the price too.
I like the Canon colours.

I'm selling that canon 17-40L if anyone is interested... Just havent used it as much as id liked to and I'm saving for a Sony rx100.

RX1 - want

Yep. Had to google rx100 just to double check I needn't be ravaged by jealousy

I wish... £2600 for a camera that's stuck with a 35mm lens is.... for a certain type of person. If it was much, much less, I totally would.

17-40

how much?

Very true. That said, it's rare for my 35mm to leave any of my cameras, such a good focal length.

Want to start experimenting with a longer lens for street photography though, want to get busier more compact scenes - been inspired by Saul Leiter

RX1 has 35mm and 50mm zoomed. Only two focal lengths I ever use.

Saul Lieter is great stuff...
