I was told to get around a 3megapixel camera, anything about that wasn't worth the extra money unless you wanted to do print work.

Url I was pointed to
http://www.imaging-resource.com/

Has a great price search

3MP bah! from dcresource :

"Overall, the photo quality on the F707 was stellar. Where the Coolpix 950 was the benchmark for photo quality a few years ago, I think the F707 will be the new benchmark going forward -- at least for a while. "

"What I liked:

5 million pixels for under $1000!
Feature packed
5X optical zoom
Excellent photo quality
Very good bundle (except for Memory Stick)
Manual white balance and other manual controls
Battery lasts a long time

What I didn't care for:

Proprietary Memory Stick, flash support
A RAW mode would be nice
No true continuous shooting mode"

"How Does it Compare?

I think Sony caught many manufacturers by surprise with their announcement of the DSC-F707 -- especially the $999 price point. Olympus, Nikon, and Minolta are all selling 4-5 Megapixel cameras for more than the F707. While I haven't used the Coolpix 5000 yet, I have used the Minolta DiMAGE 7, and I can say that the F707 is a lot nicer for much less money. The F707's photo quality is outstanding, the feature-set strong, and the 5X zoom much better than the usual 3X zoom. The camera also has -- get this -- a proprietary battery that actually lasts a long time! The things I'm not enthused about are few in number: I don't like the Memory Stick (in general), and would prefer a RAW mode instead of the massive TIFF files that the camera saves. If I didn't already own an Olympus E-10, this would be the camera I'd buy myself, most likely."

Well, if Sony didn't use those fucking proprietary memory sticks, they might actually have a decent camera. Bastards.

I had the pleasure of using a mavica for a few years and other than the lower pixel power of the one I used... it was a great camera.

I really liked the fact that it saved the images as jpgs and you could take as many pics as you had floppys on hand (a spare battery was a must though).

I've got my eye on a better version that wal mart sells for $400.

damn, thats a nicezzz tool!

of course dont ever expect digital cams to reach the quality of lens, but again now the quality is close to great and the automations they offer really rocks.

I got a Sony 707 and it rocks. The price on the memory sticks have been coming down. A 128MB stick used to sell for about $150 a month ago, now you can pick them up for around a $100.
