OT: digital camera

Barb:

Since we've only had ours a couple of weeks, I can't really offer much 
advice.  We bought a Sony Mavica; I wanted one with good resolution so I 
could enlarge photos, and an optical zoom.  My husband wanted one that could 
take pictures on a floppy disk (much cheaper than the memory cards). In 
order to get that, we spent around $600.  There was an older model of the 
Mavica on clearance for about $500, and I would have been happy with it, 
but...

I would definitely suggest that you be sure and get one with optical zoom, 
and not just digital zoom.  I found a web site that had some good 
information prior to shopping, and so had an idea of what to look for.  It 
even has a questionnaire you can answer and it suggests specific cameras and 
models.  It's  http://www.dcresource.com

I don't yet have a feel for how it will shoot in various types of light; am 
used to setting aperture and focus manually, and so I'm not sure it will do 
what I want!  It also takes some getting used to a view screen instead of a 
viewfinder.  On the plus side, you can see what you got immediately, and 
reshoot if you like!

But, I'm sure it will be fun...
