The non-cooled colour versions are very cost effective compared to mirrorless compacts. You would need a small netbook type pc to control it via usb, but it would be full featured that way, runs on just usb supplied power in the non-cooled versions, cooled ones need 12V 2amp supply which is easy to get.

Thanks Glen - Thanks for the suggestons. I was originally looking for a compact / pocket camera that could be used for general photography when I didn't have a DSLR with me, and one that wasn't too shabby in low light situations. However, I've decided not to get anything just for now, but will keep an eye on the options.
Cheers, Chris
