don't have a digital camera

I can't make up my mind about which one to buy,
there are too many, and half the hype is BS..
I own Nikon and Leicaflex SLRS. It was so simple to choose which camera and what lenses to purchase...
However, in the digital realm I experience overload
(information).There are so many arguements and features, it becomes confusing as to which one to buy!
Peace,
Duzzy
3.2MP Olympus C3040 Zoom

It's been a great little camera. It seems to be getting a little weary and slow to take pix these days. Have replaced batteries and charger to no avail.
4 megapixels

it's also equipped with a 3x optical zoom, and a 2.6x digital zoom...I have to say, that the digital zoom is useful, and can be satisfying, but only if I use it in one, maximum two steps:)
My cam..

I have got an Olymups Master with 6 mp. and it has a 5x optical zoom.
Nice little thing!
Five is fine

My first digital camera (in 1999)was a sony dsc-50 with only 2.1mp. It had a "WOW FACTOR" back then. I've come up with good colored brochures and product presentations from that tiny wonder. I recently bought a Panasonic FX08 in black body with 5mp and I can't say that my international clients to whom I send product shots are complaining. In fact, business with them is doing quite well! I have always stood back from the "mine is bigger than yours" contest. I just stay cool and say, "oh yeah, mine is better, though." Cheers.
Nope don't use one

I don't use a camera especially a digital one, they're all to complicated to use, too expensive and break easily. Although these types of cameras do produce better shots than standard ones All I want in a camera is simplicity and good results.

I've got CANON EOS 350D (European Version) = EOS Kiss Digital N or so (US Version), it has about 8.0 megapixels...
I have 2 cameras and wouldnt be without either

I have a Kodak DX3500 which is 2.3 mega pixels
Disadvantage - not as sharp or detailed as the bigger cameras. Not detailed enough for printing
Advantage - The file sizes are much smaller and I find that the quality is fine for viewing on a monitor. I put most of my photos online so family and friends can view them. The smaller files upload much quicker.
I also have an Olympus Zoom 500 which is a 5 mega pixel camera.
Disadvantage - Files are huge taking up much more hard drive space
Advantage - the quality of the pictures is excellent. Ideal for printing
Conclusion - I wouldnt be without either
7.2 Sony DSC-P200

Upgraded from a 2 MP Sony about a year ago.
Don't need or use the movie feature. Wish Sony would lose it in their still cameras. But I guess its in their software and must be pressed forward into all new cameras.
6 is enough

My 6mp Nikon D70 DSLR captures images that can be blown up to large poster size and beyond, with good resolution. For me, I don't see any sense in spending the extra money for more mega pixels unless I want to start shooting for wall murals. (hmmm...maybe someday)
Digital Zoom
by Keithj - 9/6/06 3:53 AM In reply to: How many megapixels does your digital camera have? by Marc Bennett
Panasonic Lumix FZ30. 12x optical zoom.
It has digital zoom (as have all the digital cameras I've owned) but I agree that digital zoom is a total waste of time.
If I need to ''zoom in'' more than the lens can, then I'll do it afterwards in the PC.
how many megapixels
by dilipkps - 9/6/06 4:22 AM In reply to: How many megapixels does your digital camera have? by Marc Bennett
8 Megapixels. I have a Sony F828
2 Cameras
by tomlegal - 9/6/06 5:00 AM In reply to: How many megapixels does your digital camera have? by Marc Bennett
I have a point and shoot HP 735 which is 3 Megapixels and a Pentax *ist Digital SLR which is 6 Megapixels. I do much more shooting with the Pentax since I can do optical zooming. I do like to have the HP to put in my pocket to take with me to take snapshots.
4 MP is enough

If your largest print will be 8X10 you only need 3MP to make a nice print. A 4MP camera will do 8X10 enlargements comfortably. Since most people have printers that will do 8.5X11 paper, buying a larger MP camera is not necessary. I own a Canon G3 that will take a tiff photo 8X10 that will knock your socks off.
