Ah, you people are so great. I do appreciate all the input and, believe me, I found it most useful while researching. I'm not saying I'm done looking yet but, by golly, I sure know a lot more now than I did before this post! Thanks, everyone. I'm huggin' on ya.

Bonnie, which model of Cybershot do you have? I know it takes nice photos.

Mage, I agree on the image stabilizer -- and I've had others stress the value of the optical viewfinder but, truthfully, I hate the durned thangs. With my spectacles, there is always the collision problem. I've got so used to the LCD screen that I never even think about the viewfinder. Even in the sunshine. I've learned to work around the glare problem.

Gordo, you are so right. We can get twice the camera for half the price any more. Amazing.

Bill, thanks for the preview link. That's a good one!

Wendy, I will be taking your advice about eBay. That falls under the heading of Leave No Stone Unturned.

I'm amazed at how much resolution has changed in the four years since we bought our first digicam. The 7.2MP Panasonic is only $179 no this side of the border.

I join all these voices and tell you my story. I walked into Frye's and saw a display model Olympus I liked at a price I couldn't afford. Then I went back and found it on sale. It had gotten dented, didnt have a lense cover and no book. They marked it down even further, gave me a Sony lense cap, and I downloaded the book. Makes me smile.

My suggestions are to get one with a viewfinder and image stabilization. The more pixels the better in case you want to print. The more zoom capability, the longer useful life the camera will have. The most important are the first two things. Never again will I buy a digital camera without image stabilization.

How bout them beans. :)

And Dee, don't forget good old eBay, when you recover from the current feeling of shopped-to-death. It's work, but can sometimes (although not always) yield some worthwhile results.

Have a look at the Panasonic digicams, Dee. I have the DMC-TZ, which is superb--actually it's a Leica. Graham was so taken with it he asked for another, cheaper one, for his b'day. I don't reckon the Nikon ones anymore.
