205626 2004-01-06 10:53:00 That's 2 megapixels?! Far bigger and better quality than a 1.something megapixel camera I've got.

Or is that due to optical zooming, or something.

205629 2004-01-06 11:41:00 You should be able to get 3MP by now (or very soon) for ~$400. The prices are constantly dropping.

The nikon (3.2MP, 3x zoom, macro mode, very good camera) my dad got a couple of months ago has dropped to $499 from $849.

205630 2004-01-06 11:51:00 I've used a couple of 3.2MP cameras and they produce v.nice quality. I personally wouldn't go for any less MPs than 3.2~. Spend any excess money on a nice big memory stick if you can. aroc (3256)
205631 2004-01-06 12:10:00 Also be aware that some of the cheaper (mostly online) stores are selling parallel imports which will have an effect on the type of warranty and where to send for repairs.

205632 2004-01-07 02:41:00 A 'friend' of mine has offered to sell me his sony cyber shot for $400, he said he bought it 3 months ago.

It looks like it would be suitable, andone heard any bad feedback about that brand ?

205633 2004-01-07 02:56:00 There seem to be quite a lot of models of "Sony Cyber Shot" cameras. :D Sony's a good brand. Have a look at the Imaging Resource (http://www.imaging-resource.com/) review site.

Have a look at a few cameras in a shop. Or a lot of cameras in several shops. :D Look through the viewfinder. See if all the controls are in the "natural" places. These are things that only you can decide. :-) A bigger LCD display is better for looking at pictures after they are take, but a good "optical" view finder is easier to use when shooting.

Has anyone had a try of a camera with an lcd view finder,as I understand the Kodak DX6490 has one.Haven't seen one yet as the shop is "all sold out".I know that's a bit dearer,but seeing you're around,Robo!!
