I have finally decided to break down and buy a digital camera. Does anyone have any good/bad/ugly opinions about a particular brand, which feature is most important, how easy it is to transport, etc?
I need something that will perform equally well inside and outside. (A zoom is optional, obviously, we know we can crop and zoom in photoshop.)
I'm thinking about batteries here, too. Something I can buy rechargable batteries for? or if not, something that doesn't eat up batteries like the cookie monster does oatmeal raisin?
Also, what types of cards do they take? Are they standard?
Quite frankly, going into a camera store is a little overwhelming for me. The person behind the counter will tell you anything they think you want to hear, or nothing, because they don't know anything about them. I'd like to hear from people who've owned one for at least a few months.
(also, I don't want to spend a fortune)
Thanks for any input. I am tired of lugging around this massive thing we have had for years. Not only do I have to lug it around, I also have to carry a box of floppy disks! (about 18 high-res pics per disk)
