I wanted to buy the Sony DSC-T20W, It looks like a good camera, but then i read the customer reviews. The people who have just bought it are really happy with it. But then i read the reviews of people who've had the camera for more than a few months and seem to be having serious problems with it. Having had to repair it twice in less than a year.

I have a Canon Pwershot SC600. I love it. It takes great pictures, and is easy to use!

I would also go into some camera places and handle the cameras. Some may feel uncomfortable and some may feel great. Then once you have a short list you can do a little more research if need be, starting with the suggestions you have seen here. Also I am sure that if you go into an actual "camera" shop as opposed to a genral purpose electronic place and be truthful they will give you good advice. Let them know you are just learning and shopping around and will not be buying today and stick to that!! I also looked at a lot of magazines to get advice.

Before you buy any camera I suggest you take time to think about how you want to use it, both now and in the future. Are you mainly interested in family, friends and vacation photos? Or would you like to take extreme close-ups of flowers and insects, sports, city skylines at night? Do you want a lot of manual control of the camera or will you leave it on Auto all the time?
It is easy to over-buy and under-buy. If your main interests lie in family, friends and vacation photos then there are a number of digicams that will serve you well. If, however, your interests are more into sports, etc. then a digicam may not give you what you want. Of course you can always start with a digicam and later upgrade to a DSLR.
The Sept. 2007 issue of SHUTTERBUG MAGAZINE has a review of five 10-megapixel digicams.

Go to www.dpreview.com and check out the discussion forums. Those are real people who use the camera everyday. Also remember, that every product is going to have some quirks and some may be defective, this doesn't reflect on every single camera. I would check out their warranty and see if others had problems getting their cameras fixed. Anything digital and electronic product is not going to hold up that well when compared to a film camera. I had an older (3 years) sony cybershot 5.1 camera and loved it. I just outgrew it and needed something more professional.

Go to www.dpreview and ignore the discussion forums.
What other people think of a camera is irrelevant.
Look at the scientific tests and decide what suits your needs.
Pay close attention to resolution, noise, distortion, purple fringing, chromatic aberration, shutter lag and AF speed, all of which are rigorously tested on that site.

I have an Olympus SP 350 camera. I love it and you can buy lenses to improve the picture capture.
