Hello Goingbacksoon--

Here's a great site devoted to digital photography where you can probably find in-depth information about each of the camers you listed.

I have a Nikon Coolpix 4200 and it is absolutely wonderful. I took it on our Disney cruise along with our 35mm. The pics were WAY better the the 35mm. Absolutely top quality. I would definately recommend this digital. Very easy to use. Hope this helps you, even though it isn't the 3200!

I just bought a Canon A80 specifically for the cruise (wanted a digital camera anyway, so it was the perfect time). Still experimenting with it, trying to get used to all the functions, but I love it so far - only thing I don't like is the battery usage - uses 4 AA and it goes through them like my SUV through gasoline. Reason I posted is I believe this is similar to the A75 you asked about.

We don't have any of the models you listed (ours digital is a Sony) but if the unit you purchase uses AA's or AAA's RECHARGEABLES are a MUST. As SKYHAWK said digital cameras EAT battries up.

We did a BUNCH of comparisons with differant brands on our last digital (a Kodak that used AA's, the Sony used a propriatary rechargeable) and the Kodak Photo Recharagables are far and away the best. They lasted 2 to 3 times as long per charge versus Durecell, Everready etc. They were harder to find and little more expensive but well worth the time and money.

Good luck with your research.

I Just purchased the Canon A75 and love it. My friend has the Canon A70 and she loves it. The reason I got the A75 is because her experience with the A70. I just took my card to the local Wal-mart and got my pictures devloped....They came out great. The A75 is easy to use and the pictures come out great. IF you do get the A75, I recommend getting the 256MB or 512MB CF card. The 512MB should hold over 300 pics at the highest quality. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey thanks everyone for the variety of responses. Judging by them, it doesn't look like I can go wrong with any of these (unless I pay too much! ) I guess I'll be hitting up ebay and Circuit City this weekend.

The only thing I don't like about the fuji is that it uses xD cards, harder to find and less widely used.

Thanks again!

I have a Nikon Cool pix 3200. These are the reasons I like it:

1. Ease of use. It has lots of options if you are into photography, but it is also a very good point and shoot camera.

2. Size, it is small, but thick enough to hold onto easily.

3. Uses two AA batteries.

4. Uses Compact Flash card, so finding more memory is easy, lots of good deals on those type of cards. Plus it is easy to print off of that media using those photo machines at Target/WalMart.

I really like mine and would recommend it to anyone. Good luck with your decision.

disneybride96 -

How do you like the Digital Rebel?? I have been looking into getting a Digital SLR and the Canon is one I was thinking about.

Thanks for your opinon !!

If you are seriously considering a digital SLR I would urge you to check out the Nikon D70 and compare it to the Digital Rebel. While both are good cameras, most people agree that the D70 is the better of the two.

Check out the link to the site I posted above. The site has *extensive* reviews of both cameras. (And by extensive, I mean very extensive! Somthing like 20+ pages for each camera, detailed examinations of all features, side-by-side comparisons, and TONS of sample photos taken by the cameras.)
