Ok, the use of the term "perfectly well" maybe didn't appeal to everyone. What I mean is that I can cope with some vignetting and simply crop it and have some nice results. I am not prepared to post examples. Reason - I have cropped all images and deleted every single image with vignetting so no real point in posting edited images (all the originals are binned). Anyway, I love the CP7100 and CP7700 because they are so versatile and can be used for digiscoping (even though there is vignetting).
Neil (or anybody else) - can you recommend any good and inexpensive pocket cameras or cameras with short lenses that can be used with e.g. the Swarovski ATX / STX series that DO NOT show any vignetting at the lowers camera magnification (ie. at start-up). Am in the market for something new and two of my local shops have some seriously good offers right now.

The Nikon P300 series are good value although you need to zoom camera lens to about 40 mm to remove vignetting. I've used all of them and there are threads on them. You should be able to pick up the previous P330 at a good price but am liking the new P340.
