You may want to try Fuji, they've got some relatively thin cameras with nice big screens... and upto 6.1MP. I can't remember what the model name is.

what do u guyz suggest??? | have u tried uploading ur pictures?
also, a LOT of people have done this... but u can actually turn off displaying ur pics on the lcd screen if u have pushed the DISP button by accident. the button is there to save batteries and for those who just want to look through the viewfinder only
hope that helped!

Hey guys,
I'm looking to start learning about photography and wanted a decent learner's camera. I'm not looking at the DSLRs because I'm not ready to invest in all the lenses and such. I'm looking for a decent camera that is versatile and can produce a wide variety of photos. The cameras i'm looking at right now are the Canon PowerShot S3 IS and the Sony H2. Are either of these a good place to start? Any other recommendations?

I dont think you could go wrong with a Powershot S3 IS if you're not looking for one of those ultra-tiny style ones.

I had an S2 for a short while and though I sold it in favour of a dSLR, as a camera it worked really nicely. Everything I've read suggests the S3 is a real step up, and accordingly should be a great camera!

acutally it depends on what you want and what you can afford... the answer is too broad, really.
they go anywhere from $670 bucks all the way up to $9,000. lol

yeah u have to factor in all the additional costs...
memory cards
bags
lenses
accessories
they start to add up before u even know it
$800 bucks will get you a D50 with kit lens... which I think is a good place for someone to start with before spending anything more.

how is the T7 compared to all those others listed like fx01, sd700, DSC-W70, DSC-W100m, etc. I like slim!
How's the Minolta Dimage X1, it's like 8mp but around 200-300 bucks.
