I'm not sure what kind of information you're looking for. Someone suggested a
review site. That should be a good start. Personally, I bought our first
digital about a year ago. Polaroid 533i or something like that. Had a lot of
automatic features - night pictures, pets, kids, food, portraits, scenery,
fireworks, etc. Also permitted manual manipulation of shutter speed, iso among
others. It was a good, low-cost camera. Took excellent pictures. The only
complaint I had was battery life. I bought some off-brand alkaline batteries,
and after inserting them in the camera, took only one (!) picture and the
camera battery meter indicated the batteries needed to be replaced. I ended up
giving the camera away (but not for that reason).

The digital camera we currently have is a Canon A550. Still low-cost, but a
little more than the Polaroid. Has a few less features on the menu, but it
takes beautiful pictures. It also permits manual exposures. It can also
function as a video camera. With a 2-gig memory chip, it holds nearly 700
uncompressed pictures or 2 - 3 hours of video. What caught my eye was the store
display noted that it had a low-power image sensor (the guts of the camera). I
was somewhat skeptical but purchased it anyway. I have been pleasantly
surprised at the battery life. I am using rechargeable nickle-metal hydride
batteries and can get probably around 50 - 80 shots before needing to replace
the batteries.

In talking to others about digital cameras I've heard the same complaint
repeatedly - battery life. Rechargeables are definitely better than alkalines,
but I've been told that lithium batteries are even better.

I don't know what level (pro, semi-pro, amateur) you're profficient at, but I
can recommend this camera as entry-level. If you'd like to see some results of
this camera, write me back.
