I ave been using digital cameras for about ten years as I recall.  I 
started with them when they were large, burned up batteries and had low 
resolution and low capacity(Old logtech unit as I recall, when the canon 
and nikon were busy saying why digital would never be competitive).   I 
moved to digital because my wife used to freak at paying all of the 
developing costs for rolls and rolls of "rusty junk".    The newer 
cameras are good enough that I use them for people and "rusty junk"   
The camera I have found to be the best for me is the Canon digital 
Elf.   S230.    It will do 3.2 megapixels, but I usually set the 
resolution down for most of my stuff.   It also will do short movies.  I 
never thought that I would use this feature, but find myself using it a 
lot.  Not world class video, but perfect for a little video of a hit an 
miss engine running, or power hammer, or singing happy birthday at your 
kids second birthday.  The best feature is its dimunutive size.  It is 
the second Canon that I have had ( they won't work underwater 
evidently).  I also have tried the Nikon Coolpix 800 unit, which I now 
keep in my car for whatever comes up.
