Archived from groups: alt>comp>periphs>dcameras (more info?)

I'm in the market for a new Digital (SLR) camera and would welcome
some suggestions as to some MODELS I might wish to consider before
making my final decision.

1. Pixels: I don't REALLY care that much - I'm more interested in
overall PICTURE QUALITY and (eg.) I've 'heard'/been reading that some
of the new 8MB systems don't produce as good results as 6MB cameras.

I would say (likely) in the range of 5MB-8MB.

2. Interchangable lenses: NOT REQUIRED. A permanently attached lens
with a good ZOOM range will suffice.

3. A minimum of a 28mm (35mm focal length equivalent) wide angle
capability is REQUIRED. (Though achieving this with an adapter would
be acceptable, maybe...).

4. Anti-Shake Technology looks attractive. Anyone else beside
Konica-Minolta have???

TIA!

$$$$?

If you don't want to change lenses then you are not looking at
"digital SLR". Just about any prosumer digicam will be TTL. SLR is now
used for changeable lens cameras.

I guess Canon S1 IS is below your consideration...since it's just 3.2
Mpixels, 10x optical zoom, Image stabilizer (anti shake)...
check it out.
