Best Digital Camera for taking pics of the fireworks ...

WOW! WOW!

Mine NEVER come out like this.

Have a Sony Cybershot, but it is old.

Time for a new one I guess?

Bumping this up in the hope that others will post photos and advice about taking pictures of fireworks.

great thread - I have a Canon A80 and need to figure out how to use it properly before trip in May for fireworks. My 5yo DD fell in love with fireworks on 4th of July vacation. ( she thinks the fireworks were for DW's birthday which is 7 04) Any advice welcome

Also do many people take a full tripod along and store it in a locker? will it fit the lockers? or do I just go with the mini tripod and comendere a mailbox or something?

Mercury cameras are very nice! They take quick and easy shots, and they load quickly.

Mercury cameras are very nice!

Are you serious? I've never read a positive review on this brand. Which model are you talking about (and what's the price)? Is it better than Sony Ericsson W800i camera phone (2 MP - non interpolated, auto focus, built in flash)?
