[QUOTE="HomeMadeSin, post: 344354, member: 26415"] Sorry to butt in, but I gotta! :D Overall, I have found the Sony units to be poor on photo quality (mainly resolution) and high on price. A couple of years back, my in-laws bought the Mavica w/floppy. The wanted to buy us one and turned it down (chose to take the money and buy a Firewire card for true digital video capture). The reason was simple: I could've bought a Barbie digital camera with the same resolution for nearly 25% of the price! I realize that the floppy idea was neat, but it is extremely slow (like transfering photos across Serial cord). Besides, the days of floppies has been numbered for some time (die already!) Resolution is as important as processor speed for a computer. I tend to follow the same logic many apply to CPUs: buy the max speed you can get. The units I've used and liked include the Kodaks and Nikons. The Kodak takes great pictures and works well. The main drawback I didn't like was the lack of attachments for the lens (like filters -no threads) and limited optical zoom. I currently use a Nikon Coolpix 990 - sweet camera. Plenty of resolution and has both dummy mode and manual (pro mode). Filters and such can be attached to the lens too. You should be able to get one around $500-600 range and have a camera that will hold its own for years. Also, it comes with a USB cord which is quick. You can plug it into the computer and the camera shows up as a another hard drive. In fact, I have used the camera to transfer all kinds of files between two computers (spreadsheets, documents and photos!). It works like your hard drive in Windows Explorer. Just my .02. I should shudder every time I see that Sony Mavica w/floppy. [/QUOTE]
