Digital cameras

I'm one of those people who still has not indulged in a digital camera. Can anyone here give me advice on what to look to for in a good basic digital camera? Or maybe recommend a brand? Any information would be truly appreciated.
Thanks!

down and make a list of what you want to do with it. Are 4x6 prints good for you? How big would the biggest print be that you want, even if you only do a few a year. What would you use the camera for? Family snapshots, vacation snaps, and/ or do you think you might want to experiment artistically too? What do you use your film camera for? Keep in mind that it is easier and cheaper to experiment with a digital. Do you want to be able to change lenses and need DSLR or is a point and shoot good for you? I would try to think about things I might try in the future. It can save you a lot of money to get a camera that can grow with you instead of you outgrowing your camera.

Then I would search reviews. One I really like it is here http://www.steves-digicams.com/default.htm and there are others. Look for user groups and see how they feel about their cameras. Then before buying take some out for a test drive. Most camera shops will have one there you can try out. It is digital so you can see the results and get a feel for the camera. How it fits your hand and how easy the controls are for you to operate is important.

More people will be along with more suggestions and links to camera reviews. Good luck and beware, these things can be addictive and turn you into a photoholic.
