Just bought a new kodak LS 433, 4 mega pixel Great camera, but had to purchase a $7.00 program upgrade to replace the flawed program that came in the box.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) set your price range and then go shopping. |

canon g2, g3, or the new g5.
you can get a g2 for relatively cheap these days, and it is an amazing camera. check out www.dpreview.com for more info than you thought possible on all the digital cameras, plus sample galleries. |

Fuji, Nikon, or Minolta.
4 megapixels or more. Depends on if you actually make prints and how large! Karl |

Oh yes... and buy off line and save $$$$$$
Several ways to find better prices.. www.cnet.com www.mysimon.com www.yahoo.com (then go to Shopping and start clicking away. It will compare prices online for you too). If you find a model you like, go to www.epinions.com and see if there are any reviews! Good luck! |

boxstr, what will you be doing with the camera? If you are going to take it to the track and take pics of the cars I say get a huge zoom (like 10x) if your taking pics for prints, get huge megapixles..

The Nikon coolpix series is my favorite. They have a camera which is around a grand that is just amazing. It changes every few month's but the last time I looked it was the coolpix 5000 or 5500. I believe it's 5 megapixle's, amazing camera if you wana drop the dough.

Canon & Olympus are my favorites. They are similar in ease of operation and have some of the greatest features (10x zoom, 3-5 Mega pixal + price). Movies are great in both not to mention able to get really really close to your subjects. Canon also has one of the first 11 mega pixal cameras but you're looking at 6K (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) The nice priced cameras are between $4 & $700. Go to Pro Photo at 1112 NW 19th (241-1112) and see their digital guru there. Tell him what you think you need and he will show you what is available & make suggestions. I guarantee you will walk out a happy man. They are the best and, if you buy from them, they will back you with information & help forever. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

The reason I chose the Sony was it gave me the most compact camera with the most features. If you are looking for something you can use and carry around I would definitely focus on size, pixels and zoom! I had another one and I found that it was just too bulky to comfortably carry up to the tip of the mountain!
Digital Reviews Jeff PS: Battery life!!!!!!!!!! Mine can go weeks without a charge and will still take 50-100 photos! |

Kodak DC-5000.
Waterproof. Windproof. Dustproof. Shockproof. Bought a "refurbished" model on evilBay. Best camera I've ever had. USB cable, CF cards for memory, and AA batteries (came with rechargeables and a charger). Good battery life unless you forget and leave the camera "on" in transfer mode. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

I'm so old school... I still shoot on floppies with a 4 year old camera (Sony). I dont print the pictures very often.. so print quality is not important to me. I can load them NOW and not have to wait until I'm near my memory stick reader. I can GIVE them to you when I'm done shooting and you can read them in any computer with a floppy drive. No cables. No software. Its shoots 30 second movies. I dont need a camera that shoots more than 72DPI because the WEB doesnt support any more than that and everything I shoot is for the web..lol
Craig it really comes down to what you want to do with the camera. I use mine strictly for web site crap and it works great. I dont need the 5billion megapixels.. then i would have to shrink ALL my pics down to 650 for this site and others. I shoot in 650X650 so i dont have to shrink them all. B |

I have used quite of few of the above mentioned cameras. I have owned the Nikon 885 and now have the Nikon 5000. The 885 was a point and shoot 3megapixal that shot great pics. The 5000 is awesome but pretty complicated and more for advanced users. If you change the settings it takes awhile to figure out how to change them back! (effin kids).
5 megapixal will shoot 16x20 prints 4 megapixal will shoot 11x14 3 megapixal will shoot 8x10.... so if you want to have real photo prints made consider the pixal size cuz if you try to blow up a 3 megapixal file to print it, its goes to hell like Andy shot it! All my old cameras are in storage cuz all I shoot now is digital. I use Ofoto to due the prints, 8x10 is $3 and you get it in less than a week. Looks the same as a shot using a negative. Geoff |

Ofoto (owned by Kodak) and currently trying to hire Lyressa. Based in Emeryville Ca. Good business plan and plenty of backing.
