OT: digital camera recommendations, anyone?

Part of that is the 'megapixel' factor (beyond technology improvements). I think the Rebel DSLR is a 6Mpixel. Where the Rebel will have an advantage is in low light. It will do better in focusing speed, flash depth(how far it can throw the flash) and have less noise in the images. The SD950IS will have noise start to creep in after ISO 100. The Rebel should be able to run up to ISO 400 without problems. For pictures in bright daylight, the SD950IS should do a lot better.

 

Actually, it's 8mp. Though if I waited the XTi is 10.1mp. And the latest addition the XSi will be 12.1mp. Doh, if I only waited.

BTW.. if you think that 12 MPs on a point and shoot camera is going to make your pictures better than your buddy who “ONLY” has 8MP, think again.

And in a few years.. even more megapixels..It is nice that the newer digitals are coming out with more for less… unlike many things in life. You just have to pick a point where the number of pictures you take will justify the cost. I did jump on a 12Megapixel DSLR recently, when it came out (SonyA700, body only – partially because it is compatible with my existing lenses(Minolta), and because of the build quality – enviro sealed with magnesium/aluminum alloy frame). At this point I’ll stand pat until the full-frame sensors come down in price.
