HELP - need recommendations for a good digital camera

[the who #3]

i just spent 16 days in europe with a casio ex-z600 and took over a 1000 pics. only 2 were bad and that was the fault of the user. camera was stolen on the final airport leg, so i have to buy another one. the casio is great, very slim and pocket small with a large screen. i really did enjoy it.

looking at the ratings i have decided to try the sony cyber shotthis time. the pink one yet.

We just took our new Canon S2 ,with image stabilization, to WDW last week and I LOVED it!! I am not a "techie" at all and I was able to take some great pictures! It is only 5 megapixels, which worried me at first, but all the shots are so clear and it has 10X optical zoom, which makes the difference. For that reason alone, I would recommend any camera you pick to have the 10X zoom, because I could get close up shots of many things far away in the parks, that made it look like I was right on top of it. (Like the Tree in AK)
This camera also has video mode, which I know you said you're not looking for, but talk about easy! With a 2GB card, I have a total of about 6 minutes of video, 400 pictures and room for around 200 pictures or 3 min. of video left. Good luck shopping!

I have a Kadak Easy share(dx7590 Has a German lens Schneider-Kreuznacdh) and I think it take good pic's -- And If thats not cutting it I use my daughters Nikon D50 takes the best. I'm more of a SLR user but I bought this one to thought in my bag and go, If your looking for a point and shoot any of the top names will pretty much be good- I would think more about how far it will ZOOM... Most of the time these little camera have very small zoom on them. So think about what you want in a camera and go try them out.

I was looking at the Canon 620 but it came down to price. I bought the Sony Cybershot 4.1 mega pixels. I love this camera. On our trip to Disney last year was my first time using it. At firt I was taking pictures on my old camera and the digital because I didn't trust it. But soon I discovered that I love this camera. You can plug it in to the TV at the hotel and see the pictures on the large screen and delete what you don't want. Also I purchased the 1gig card which I have yet to fill up. The only thing with the 4.1 is that if you blow up a picture and crop it, it can sometime seem a bit grainy...not bad though. I think if you can afford it go for the sony with higher megapixels. I thought that I wanted all the added features with the Canon but now after using the camera for a while I realize that I didn't miss out on anything. I think my boys got tired of hearing me say that I loved my camera. It is so wonderful to see the pictures right away...to know if you captured the moment, and save film too. This camera takes great pictures. The best thing is that it only takes 2 AA batteries so that if you charge all 4 and have 2 spares with you at all times. Canon 620 takes 4 batteries (or is it 710) .

Even though I don't personally own one, I would have to say Sony Cybershot. Both my cousin and my uncle have it & it is slim, lightweight, and takes great photos.

Does anyone have any experience with the Canon Powershot SD630? How do you like it? I know all about it not have IS, but other than that, are there any other cons? I really like this camera and the SD700, SD800, and SD900 are too expensive for me right now.

Well, I LOVE my Kodak Easyshare Z650! It has 10x optical zoom and is so easy to use too. The pictures I took this September at Disney were terrific and the video is good and has sound as well. This is my 3rd Kodak and I have been really pleased with them. My 12 year old son took the picture in my sig with my Kodak.

does anyone have the canon s2 or s3? I wanted to know if they enlargements are just as good or do they start to look grainy? We have the A310 but i think we need to upgrade.

Just wanted everyone to know I settled on the Canon A710. Now I can't wait to get to Disney and take tons of pictures!!!!

I love my Sony Cyber Shot!

Another vote for the Sony Cyber Shot 7.2 mega pixels. Wonderful pictures, easy to use.

I bought the Casio Exilim for my upcoming Dec. trip, because I wanted a small digital to go with my Minolta Dimage Z6. I was worried about how small the Exilim is, because you can literally put it in your back pocket. But it still takes great pictures. It also takes great night shots.

I need a camera for sports (football) and for Disney around the $300.00-$400.00 range

DH and I decided this year I would get him a new Camcorder for Christmas and he would buy me a new digital camera.

DH has already spec'd out his camcorder but I haven't made a decision as to which camera I want.

The Christmas Club check is in and we want to buy these before Thanksgiving so we can use them and get used to them before our Christmas trip. I don't need a movie camera as part of the digital camera because DH will use his camcorder.

Suggestions???
