Re: OT -- digital cameras
After a lot of shopping and getting and returning a couple of cameras. Here is what I suggest you look for in a camera:
3 to 4 magapixel will be good for printing or sending away to have prints at 8x10. You really don't need the 6 megapixel camera to take good pics. If you have a Costco in your area you can send them the pics via the internet and have them printed up by the next day. .18/pic 4x6. You cannot print them yourself for less than that. Well, I can't.
The next most important thing to look for is the optical zoom. The more of this you get the better. This is the zoom the lens does. The digital zoom is just that, digital. It is nice to have more but the pic can get pixelated and not look real good. The optical zoom is more important.
I got the Fujifilm Finepix 3100S. It has 6x optical and 3x digital. It is 4.1Megapixel and I got it around Xmas for 159. Really good find. It is not one that will fit in a pocket though.
Thats all I got... gl
