A photographer's haven for the lastest in digital or traditional film cameras.

Re: digicam suggestions

Important things in Digicams are 1) optical zoom, as digital zoom is meaningless it is nothing at all. 2) make sure it has USB output or you will want a seperate (about $30) USB card reader. Serial output is horribly slow even at low resolutions. 3) Get at least 2 Mega Pixals. The more the better. they make more sharpness at larger print sizes. 4) Get a camera that uses AA batteries NOT some expensive custom battery. I was leaning towards the Nikon 880 (a very good camera) till I learned it takes a $17 battery that is not rechargeable and lasts for about 40 pictures. Get a AA battery camera and buy two sets of 1600mh Nmh batteries(about $40). Keep one set freshly charged. Then you can, in an emergency use liquor store batteries.
