Which Digital Camera?


The Seattle Times has an article this weekend that attempts to answer the question of - Which digital camera is right for you?

'But their mass-market status doesn't change the fact that digital cameras remain computers with lenses, and they require some of the same careful shopping. Where the big number in computers is processor speed, in digital cameras it's megapixels — millions of picture elements of resolution. And it's almost as easy to go overboard on resolution as on processor speed.

You need at least 3 megapixels, which will allow good 4-by-6 prints and uncropped 8-by-10 blowups. Stepping up to 4 megapixels increases your odds of getting a quality 8-by-10; five adds the option of still larger blowups. But don't buy more than that unless you crop your photos with an ax instead of a scalpel or routinely order massive blowups; the larger files generated by 6- or 7-megapixel cameras will only fill your storage card faster and slow transfers of pictures to a computer....'
