I have an Olympus Stylus 800 8 megapixel camera. The screen on the back is HUGE and the time between pushing the button and taking a picture is as close to a 35mm that I could find. It is realllllly fast.

I just bought a kodak camera and digital developer at Staples for under 400 package deal with all the trimmings.
This camera:

and this is the combination with the easy dock printer. It says 350 but they sold it to me for 300

I also got a gig of memory for 50 dollars minus 20 rebate.

A friend who is very good about this kind of thing said it was a very good deal and good technology to boot.

Well, how much do you want to spend?

A photog I trust recommends a Nikon D50 (6.1 mega-pix) which runs between $650 & $800 depending on lenses & disk.

I'm happy w/my three-year-old Gateway 4 mega-pix that I got for about $350. You can get similar quality for half the price now.

Also, I've generally been happy with the Kodaks I've used.

Canon Powershot SD450.http://reviews.cnet.com/Canon_PowerShot_SD450/4505-6501_7-31475444.html?tag=sub


I've used 2 Canon digital powershots, SD 200 and SD 300 now and LOVE them. I have thousands of dolalrs of camera equipment (Nikon) that i have abandoned sonce going digitial. It's small, takes great pics. What else can I say.

I am thinking about going to a Nikon D50 or D70 to start using my lenses as I miss having the ability to take more professional type photos w/o processing.

Best part about Powershots? They are tiny, fitting in a shirt pocket. If you dont have a camera with you, you might as well haev nothing.
