Re: Digital Cameras



I've had good luck personally with the Canon G1 we bought a year ago or so.  They've since come out with the G2, which is a 4.3 Megapixel vs. our 3.3, but otherwise it looks basically the same.  Not knowing a lot about "real" photography, we leave it on auto most of the time, except when we're taking movie files.  The G1 will do about 30 seconds of "film" before the computer needs to reset itself (or something). 
 
Whatever camera you buy, you MUST pick up another, larger flash memory card.  The G2 comes with a 32 MB card, but you'll still need something bigger.  Even on low resolution the 32 card won't hold too many pictures.  We got a 128 MB card, which will hold around 100 pictures at Large resolution, and something like 300 at Small.  It does help to know what you want the camera for.  If you're planning to use it for web photos, small resolution is fine, but you'll need higher rez if you plan on making prints.
 
There are plenty of others out there (I have a buddy who's a big fan of the Nikon Coolpix), but that's what I know about.

Hello All,
 
We are looking to acquire a great digital camera. I am wondering if anybody has any recommendations on any good ones.
 
Thanks
