digicam

Hi, everyone!
Sorry, this is a bit off topic, but many of you have digicams, so I thought maybe someone here could help me.
I'm looking to get a digital camera soon, and I was just wondering what some of the things are that I should make sure it has, what the most reliable brands are, etc.
Thanks!

pay attention to the megapixel size, over 2.5+ is very good, under is..well not as good quality.
i always pay attention to zoom qualities too,
and if it comes with a memory card or not..
i have an HP, a nikon and a fujifilm brand and they all seem very reliable.
i know kodak has some good deal around if you can find them.
they're pretty good too, i can help you more if you need it, just email me about it.

I read a article in a web design magazine that said that anything over 2.1 mega pixels is pretty pointless if you only want to use it to put picture online. so if you only want to do that then get something in that range.

My advice is to get something with a optical zoom as digital zoom will reduce the quality of your image. Also ask about battery life I've got fuji cam (2.0 mega pix, 3x zoom, 2x digital zoom) and the battery life is dreadfull. Its a good camera especially as i only use it to put pics on my computer.

um, yeah.. mine just...works. ^^;; I'm not certain about all the technical stuff as a lot of the other lovely people here, but I have a Logitech Quick cam, and it's always worked just fine for me :3

Canon cameras are pretty good if you're on a budget, because their entry-level ones are both reliable and high-quality. One thing you have to look out for is whether the camera you buy comes with rechargable batteries or not, or an AC adapter or not- Normal digicams can eat through two AAs in 10mins. I reccomend buying some rechargable Nickle Metal Hydrate batteries, because it'll save you in the long run.
