I am currently in the market for a digital camera. I’ve used many different brands but I’ve never actually shelled out the money for my own.
Well I’m about ready to and I would love to get everyone’s opinion’s on their favorite makes/models.
I’m looking for high megapixel, good zoom and great quality. I will be primarily using it for web/graphic design and some photography so high-res is a must.
I’m planning on spending around $600-$900 on the camera. Any help is appreciated!
I was looking at the Fuji FinePix S7000, so comments on that would be great too :).

So no one uses digital cameras anymore? Okay, can someone please let me know what new and inovative technology I’m missing out on…

I got an Olympus D550 digital camera last year as a gift and I’m pretty happy with it.
It’s 3 megapixels and I think that’s pretty decent. The retail for it is about $299 I think back then so I’m not sure how much it is now.

I am very fond of the sony mavica. I have 2. And old one that takes floppy and the newer cd one. I believe they are the best bang for the buck and the support is very good. They have all the features of the big boys. I think the newest one is up to 5 mega pixels. (which is newer than my newest model). Yu can drift off into the 1,000+ models if you want to get off into telescoping lenses and what have you. Althoug I have a fish eye lens for mine so there are aafter market stuff for it. I recommend the mavica.

> Its a awesome camera, the G3 i have is basically the same as the G5 only the G5 is 1 megapixel more, and really all that is, it is 200 pixels more of a image both ways.
The g3 has given me some breathtaking photos even using Auto mode!! :!:
