Okay, I know this one is way out there, but this group seems to be the most diverse I've seen when it comes to ideas, opinions and experiences, so I'll throw this one out:
My wife and I are looking at digital cameras. We've got a pretty loose criteria... mainly that it take good quality pictures quickly and easilly. Last night we took 4 hours and compared a ton of cameras on MySimon, then got reviews from Amazon and then looked at the forums on DpReview.com (some of which directly conflicted with Amazon reviews). Here's what we found: Canon Power Shot S330, Nikon CoolPix 775 or 885, Sony Mavica FD-100, Olympus C-700 and the Olympus D490. From this list we need to find one that will: 1. Take pictures that will print nicely. I *think* that's where the MegaPixel comes in, but I know it's not just that. She's also planning on posting pictures to the web on a daily basis... there goes my server budget! :) 2. Stand up to being used every day. My wife wants to take at least one set of pictures every day of our baby (due June 23). The camera also needs to be able to stand up to the possibility that a three year old (the twins my wife babysits) might get their hands on it. 3. You can never get enough cool software! 4. It needs to be easy to operate in a hurry. If she sees the baby trying to walk, I don't want her fumble with trying to get the camera ready to take a picture. I also don't want her to have the camera ready too late to get a picture taken. So I'll ask the group for ideas, thoughts and suggestions... either on the list of cameras we've narrowed it down to, the requirements or both. ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
