The best way to find the digital camera best suited for you, is for you to make a list of what you need/want. . . then find a camera that checks all the ticks.
Some things that might interest you;
- Small and portable
- Expandable memory (SD memory or Sony Memory Stick for examples)
- Point and Shoot vs. small scale Zoom vs. Focus Lens
- Easy Share options (plugs right into a printer, or computer to upload/print pictures)
- Mostly portrait pictures
- Mostly outdoor or indoor pictures
- Megapixels
- Cost
-----------------------------
For me size was the biggest factor, I wanted something that would fit into my handbag - my camera comes with me EVERYWHERE! Its a simple point and shoot.
I sacrficed megapixels (mine is only 2mp), and a zoom with my camera. Which is fine for what I use it for.
I am in the market for a better camera 9mp and a super zoom!
Something else to consider, I bought a Sony which is great - but it uses Memory Stick memory (only sony products use it) where if you get SD memory, many cameras, mp3, computers, PDAs and phones all use SD so you will have more use for a good SD card than a Memory Stick. . . .
