go for as high of OPTICAL zoom as you can. I know some come with around 10X and up Optical zoom which is AWESOME!!!

digital zoom just uses pixels to fill in and its bad

OH, try to find a camera that has aftermarket lenses available, for farther away shots, and super up close shots

.. i understand the lust for new technology.. but i bet if you wait 2-3 months those 8mp will come down in price by a significant amount... of course theyll probably have 12mp out and then you'll be torn once again. lol

I just bought a Sony Cybershot 7.2 megapixels.

I love it so far. Pictures are awesome compared to other cameras I tried.

Those retail for like $1900 dollars. Way outta my price range. I have camera envy now, though. LOL.

You're probably thinking of the new E-1. The E-10 came out in 2000. They can be found on ebay in good shape for $300-400. They are a nice camera but a little behind the times if you're just getting in the market. Also more of a professional camera.

It's an SLR (single lens reflex) camera so it's kind of big and heavy. There is also a bit of a learning curve. If you don't want to take the time to learn what f-stops, ISO, shutter speeds, and depth of field it would be sort of a waste, and you should stick to a more "point-&-shoot" style digicam.

The kind of camera you want really depends on what kind of shooting would you be doing. I'm a fan of Canon products and use both their consumer and professional level cameras and lens. They have all shapes and sizes for almost any style photographer.

If you're just taking pictures of vacation, friends & family and want easy portability and durability something in the Canon powershot line would be nice. With your price range you could get a higher end model like the PowerShot S2 IS Excellent optics, little shutter lag, very good low-light performance, built-in IS (Image Stabilization), and even some video features.

I'm looking at the Powershot Pro1. What do you think of yours?

 

[hawaii50]

yeah.. Canon Powershot series are really nice and they're really ergonomic, plus they're much more affordable, and high quality *waits for Canon endorsement check*

The S2 IS is another one I'm looking at right now. I've gotten a lot of endorsements from Canon and Nikon users. LOL.
