[TheForge] Digital Cameras

Roger,
Last November, I bought a Nikon Coolpix 775. I like it a lot.
It's 2.1 megapixels, but it's small and compact. The picture quality is
good.
I use it for pictures in our newsletter (Great Plains Blacksmithing
Association).
I spent about $400 just for the camera.  I got it because it's small enough
to fit in a pocket easy and the controls are easy to use. I have a nice 35mm
camera that I hardley use because it's too bulky to carry. I wanted to avoid
this with my digital camera. I am more likely to carry the digital and use
it because it is small and compact.  Also I spent the extra money to get a
128 mb compactflash card. At maximum picture quality setting, I get about
130 pictures. At a lower setting, I get a lot more.
Hope that helps,
Rob
