The old ones are the best "You get what you pay for"

Camera companies are doing a very clever job of selling very cheap very good point and click digital cameras and there great but one of there main marketing features are massive ccd's

5 meg is great if you want a4 size prints or want to crop a small portion and blow it up large or even use the dreaded digital zoom
Personally I would look around the last years models of higher speced cameras more features larger optical zoom much better cameras

look at these Fuji cameras the s5500 is excellent but the s3500 is also a good performer, Have a look at the Konica minolta DiMAGE Z3 im my opinion these are much better cameras for not a lot more outlay
