Quidditch, since you are a potential SLR-to-digital convert I trust camera size is not an issue. I would consider a Canon G2. I think it will set you back about §750.00 now, but I suspect it will be much cheaper in the next few weeks to months. I would consider a Canon S30 or S40 if you want a more compact camera. I also like the styling of the Olympus D-4000 series. I bought an Olympus D-3000 for my father-in-law last year and he is very happy with it. This camera uses SmartMedia. I probably would avoid the 2.1 megapixel cameras altogether. That resolution has been available well over 2 years and I think it will likely mean an upgrade for you in the near future if your interest in piqued by the purchase. On the other hand, a 2.1 megapixel purchase just to get your feet wet is an option as it will be less initial investment, especially if you are disappointed with your results (which I doubt). I find the Nikon 7xx abd 8xx series a bit too small and too light for my tastes. I also do not particularly care for the Nikon 9xx series with the swivel, although these have been extremely successful cameras commercially. I bought a Casio QV4000 for my uncle, but returned it. The camera was great, but I did not like the software that Casio developed for image rendering. I found it a bit too soft compared to my Canon experience. My previous cameras of choice were from Epson. You may be able to get a decent price on a Photo PC 3100, but I believe Epson has otherwise dropped out of the race. If simplicity is important, consider a Kodak 3900. If economy is important, try one of the point-and-shoot Fuji cameras. Aus
