check out www.dpreview.com and look at the reviews there. He has a good list of recommendations.
I personally have a dslr. I think you can't go wrong going that route but the price point may be little high for some. |

In January I bought a Sony DSC-F828, for the dollar, it has been a fine product. Many use and enjoy the Rebel, to each their own.
I believe it is 'research, research, research' when it comes to any purchase. Remember, Google is your friend. |

If you're not looking to do any major photography projects, but instead have a digital for convenience and quality, check out the Sony DSC-P10. I got one earlier this year. Small enough for a pocket, pretty durable, decent battery life. About $399 and it takes memory stick media which is pretty reasonably priced.

Thus the reason you work (perhaps), to spend it, feed the economy. Easy come, easy go, after all, it is only money. |

dpreview.com is your digicam finding friend.
In a nutshell, you can't go wrong with Nikon, Canon, or Olympus (in no particular order after Nikon  )

Been torn between the Canon Powershot S1 IS 3.2MP or Minolta Dimage Z3 4.0 MP. Both have 10X or better optical zoom, image stabilization for both still and video capture. Canon uses Compact Flash I and II or those 4 to 6 GB Microdrives, While the Minolta uses SD cards with a max of 1 GB. Canons run 320 to 360 while the Minolta being the newest clocks 500. Add-on lenses and filters for both, but the Canon has an all-weather/diving case that the minolta doesn't have...yet. This deserves a seperate thread, but for now, anybody got one of these?

I guess it's not as good as some of those mentioned but I recently bought a Fuji Finepix 3800 on ebay (refurb, perfect condition) for $175, 3.24 megapixel, 6x optical zoom & with an adaptor it can use 55mm lenses. It's not an SLR but it has more features than many point-and-shoots & the picture quality is excellent (battery life is very good also).
The only complaints I have are that both the viewfinder and the screen are both LCD (which isn't bad in and of itself) and in low light they are basically fully black. It still takes great pics (excellent light gathering) but you can't use the viewfinder. Also, the autofocus doesn't want to work in low light though anything within 20 or 30 feet is in good focus anyway so for indoor shots it doesn't matter much. It's really an outdoor camera, works wonderfully then. |

Superdav, that kind of money will also buy you a very nice used "prosumer" digital camera. My personal favorite is the Olympus E-10 – a magnesium-body, true through-the-lens beauty that feels just like a fine SLR 35MM film camera. If there was such a thing as a mil-spec digital camera, this would be it!
 To say this camera is built "solidly" is an understatement – After handling one, just about everything else under $1500 feels like a cheap throw-away toy. They sold for upwards of $1800 new, but can be had for well under a third of that price today. |

I bought a minolta 4 megapixel earlier this year and it took great pictures. The only bitch I had with it was it chewed up batterys AA batteries. I sold it to a friend and bought a Nikon Coolpix 4300 It takes awesome pictures and the battery lasts along time, and its rechargable. About $350 for the camera.

The Fuji S-5000 is the sub 400.00 camera on the market in my opinion.3.2 mega pixel,with 6 meg interlopin format.go to Dpreviews.com and read reviews.
