Default Suggest a digi camera

Whats up all, I need some recommendations for a good digital camera. I want to take nice pics of my car and I have been using ghetto disposable cameras or my girlfriends but hers is a piece of **** and I hate borrowing it. I really would like something small enough to carry in my pocket but also would like great resolution. If any of you have had any good experiences with a small digital camera I would appreciate the suggestion. Later

I just ordered a Casio Exilim EX-Z40. It is supposed to be pretty cool, I used one of the previous models and they have great picture quality. They are also tiny as can be.

The smallest high quality camera I saw was some new Sony that is in the same family as the Sony DSC-V1 but it was miniature. I think it even did 5MP...I dunno what the price was but I can probably guess too much for my liking. I think it might have been the DSC-T1 or somethin.

Check out Konica KD-400Z. 4.0 Mega Pixels, some nice features. Uses both SD Memory Card and Memory Stick. I think there is a KD-500Z w/5.0 Mega Pixels, as well.

Forget the Konica. It's more than that.

Another vote here for the Nikon cameras. I have a Coolpix 4300...maybe a little pricey, but amazing quality (it's currently $319 at Circuit City...a steal). The Coolpix 3200 (3 megapixel) is very similar at about $250.

http://www.steves-digicams.com is a great review site. You can look up pretty much every digital camera available.

If you want something quality and a good price, maybe a Canon SD100, you can find that online for around $250 I believe.

That brings up another thing, of course, http://www.pricegrabber.com ... never pass up that site

I got the A330 for 200 bux, AMAZING picture clarity and quality. Need to get a memory stick tho... those are $$$.

the fuji a303 was the best 3meg dig camera for the money back when i bought it in 2002......prob can get one now for under 200.
The canon a60 is a great camera.....saw them on close out at walmart b4 xmas for 180.

u might wanna goto cnet.net for reviews, ive used them for years and they usually steer ya in the right direction

I just bought a Olympus 4MP camera. Awesome and waterproof. Good for those guys like me who spill things. I HIGHLY reccommend this camera.
