Digital Cameras

My old digital camera has seen better days. It still works quite well and has an amazing zoom, but its less-than-one megapixel resolution and floppy disk drive storage are not exactly desired features anymore.

Kyle is recommending that I check out the Canon Digital Elph series. He has the SD200 model and loves it. I'd probably go with the SD400, as I'd rather not have the controls squished by a larger LCD in the 450 model, and the 500 model with it's 7 megapixels seems like overkill.

Dell has the SD400 on sale for about $250. I'm looking at other prices too.

I can definitely vouch for the Elph, Scott. I've got a 3.1 megapixel version, and it's never given me any trouble at all.

I have the Sony DSC-P200 and have liked it so far. The zoom is the same as most others, 3x but it is 7 megapixels, might be overkill but also might be great to blow up some of the shots from Thailand. Downside is the somewhat bulky usb cord and the separate recharge cord. Also uses Memory Stick which can get expensive. Up side is that it has an Info-Lithium battery that tells you number of minutes left based on function and picture quality, instead of just a little battery icon that usually lies. Good luck picking a camera out, I'm amazed you still use one with a floppy drive, haha.
