Good camera, pic quality is excellent, 2.1 megapixel at that price you wont find one cheaper. Extremely easy to use, you'll be up and running in 5 minutes. only thing is is it doesnt have optical zoom, but 2x digital zoom, digital is worse than optical, so you lose picture quality, but you wont notice it unless your a serious photographer. Get it, I'd get it myself, but dont really have a use for a digital camera yet.

Hi...
I just wanted to suggest a camera to ya...
I have the Epson Photo PC 650, its a great camera in my opinion and very easy to use. The pic quality is fabulous and you can buy optional lenses for it real cheap too (like 20bucks)
It is a 1 megapixel camera with auto focus and a crystal clear lcd screen. I love this camera and would suggest this to anyone. It costed me about $299 and that was back in August when it first came out, it's probably cheaper now or better yet...check ebay!
Anyway, with which ever camera you decide to get...its so much fun having a digital camera, no more damn film!
Enjoy!!
Pictures from my camera can be seen on my website and even this picture below of me was taken with this camera on its lowest resolution setting...

Anyone have or know someone who has a Sony DSC-P1 Digital Camera. I am thinking about buying one. I have seen alot of reviews that say its great, but I would rather hear from someone that has one. Thanks.

I am in love with my Canon G1 with a 1G IBM CF-II drive.... I use it nearly everyday.
I did not care for the Sonys. The proprietary memory and masked sensor (You do not get full res from their chips.... You lose a little... but it still irked me!) steered me away.
Nikon and Olympus make great cameras. I picked the Canon for its quality and CF-II memory capability.
