Requiescat in pace
I just bought a new digital camera, thought I'd share the steps I found that worked the best for me. With the vast numbers of competing cameras out there in all market segments, you may find this useful.
1. Research- lots of web sites devoted to evaluating cameras.
2. Talk to people- see what they like or dislike in their real world use of the gear.
3. Determine your needs/wants and bump them against your budget. Use on-line stores to get price range to help you narrow down the selection.
4. Go out and handle them- pictures can't tell you what feels right in YOUR hand.
After going through all these steps, even talking to fellow AK Bros for their opinions, I decided that the Canon A-75 or A-80 was the camera to buy (for me, YMMV ).
I then promptly went out and bought a Sony DSC-W1
