Hey y'all, I want to get a digital camera. Definetely a 5.0 Megapixel or above. However, I don't want to fork over a ton of money. 600 is about my limit. And the Sony Cybershot DSC-V1 is looking like my best option. Is there anybody out there that knows of a better one that's comparable. Or should I wait awhile. I feel a little overwhelmed with all the variables. Appreciate any help.

What are you gonna do with a 5 MP camera? Does the average user really need a 5 megapixel camera? I think 5 MP is overkill if this cam is just for home/personal use... I suggest getting a HUGE memory card or several small ones, a 5 MP photo will take some serious storage. Let us know what you decide on... also http://www.cnet.com has good info and price comparison guides!
Here is a link to a Amazon reviewer : http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...1TEOJ56E/1/ref=cm_cr_auth/102-7586988-1348148 Personally I am looking for a 3-4 MP digital camera which does not have red-eye problems, which can auto-focus quickly, and which can shoot consecutive shots quickly. I currently own a CoolPix 2500 and hate it with a passion. I am considering Minolta Dimage Z1 3.2MP Digital Camera w/ 10x Optical Zoom, though I don;t really need the zoom.
As I am about to purchase a digital camera for the wife for Christmas, I have been checking out prices via http://www.pricegrabber.com. Funny thing I found was that some web stores have a backdoor for pricegrabber. Pricegrabber directs you to a page which has the camera at the quoted price, but has the accessories marked up!!!
Have an older digital camera that takes a long time ( about 1 second ) from when you want to take a picture to the time it actually takes a picture. Otherwise it works fine. Dunno if modern cameras have this problem but if you can minimize this time, that would be a premium feature for taking action shots.
My only advice on digital cameras is to not let sexually active co-workers borrow it. You will be sorry.
Most consumers only need a 3.1 MP camera, and for that I would suggest the Canon A70. The newest model in the line is the A80, but I personally feel it's overkill.
what kinda digital camera wuoild you recommend? i like the canon one. i don't what model.. do you know where i can find one at a great deal?
The Canon A70 (about $250) is the 3.1 MP camera with the best reviews, and I believe it's the leading seller right now. The Can digital ELPH seres is great too. They're tiny, bost cost more and don't have the zoom capabilities of the A series.
See http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_a70-review/index.shtml The A70 has the redeye problem that I wanted to avoid
Just buy a really large media card. It will likely never be big enough, but a large card sure won't hurt you. That's my advice having owned several over the years since they hit the market.
