for digital cameras I usually only get Cannon or Sony
they’re the only ones I’ve NEVER had any problems with. Cannon merged with Bell and Howell many years ago. Both are/were outstanding cameras and projectors. Thier digital stuff is every bit as good. I have two Cannons now. One is the Powershot S-10. The other is one of the Elph series. It’s out on loan at the moment, so I don’t have any details on the exact model handy. The S-10 is now four years old and way out of warrantee, and it still works as though it were new. And I’ll guarantee you I work it hard. I’m in the process now of building up a portfolio of landscapes I take in the Flathead Valley in NW Montana. I live about 30 miles from the western entrance to Glacier NP and the scenery here is awesome. There is a photo op almost anywhere I point the camera. Once I have enough ‘stock’ I’m going to set up a website and sell the images. People can use them as wallpaper or postcards, posters, or whatever. With any luck, I can get myself out of the poverty hole I’ve been in since I had to quit tattooing due to arthritis.

Don’t ignore your own local camera store.

TigerDirect.com, eCost.com and NewEgg.com are great starting points. Try Froogle.com too. There are too many different cameras out there to suggest a single, specific site for you.
