    Have you checked out dpreview.com? They have some really thorough testing of a rather wide array of digital cameras past and present.

    Re: looking for a new camera

    never mind, i didnt realize the power of my own camera. i got it open box at best buy and it didnt come with an instruction manual. after some investigation its a pretty damn good camera. it sa Kodak DC4300 and i got it for 50 bucks.
