Dave, I faced the same dilemma as you a while back. Sooner or later you just gotta jump in and buy something, use it for as long as the technology is relevant, then step up to the newest technology. I bought my first digital camera (0.8 megapixel resolution) in 1998 for $499.99 plus tax. I think a 3.34 megapixel camera for the same price or better (as a first camera) is outstanding. Also, I would buy as many megapixels as the budget allows, so I personally would not settle for 2.1 MP resolution. That technology is already two years old. My recommendation would be to consider buying a blank CF card and a card reader. Then take the card to the store and try out the cameras you like. Problem is that you end up married to CF (so you eliminate Olympus, Fuji and Sony from the running), but at least you get a reasonable idea what the camera is capable of. Worst case scenario is you get stuck with a Nikon, a Canon, an Epson or a Kodak. Just my 2¢ Aus
