I am a senior in college and facebook has gotten really popular.
Everyone has hundreds of cool pictures and I have 9.
So I have decided it is time to buy a digital camera.
I am a student so I am semi-impoverished.
It needs to be cheap.
It needs to work at night.
It absolutely must work with mac. I do not have access to PC.
What should I buy? Where?
Link me if you can please. THANKS!

Go to shutterbug.com and look at their review of five 10 megapixel digicams in the Sept. 2007 issue. You can also read reviews of digital cameras at steves-digicams.com.
By "It needs to work at night" what exactly do you mean? Many digital cameras have a Night Scene setting which usually involves using the flash. If you're interested in available light night photography without flash that's a completely different subject. For that you'll need a camera that allows full Manual Mode control, a tripod and a cable release. Or plan on shooting at very high ISO settings and losing image quality.
Regardless of which camera you buy, plan on sitting aside some time to read and study the Owner's Manual. Then read and study it again. Become completely familiar with the settings and controls. Practice using them until you're as comfortable with your camera as you are with a knife and fork.
Good luck!

The difference in quality you will see between a DSLR being used properly in manual mode and a high end point and shoot being used properly in manual mode is from the difference in sensor size. Most DSLR cameras have sensors up to 10 times larger than point and shoot cameras. This equates to much better images in terms of sharpness, noise performance, and overall detail. In addition, with a point and shoot you are restricted to a single lens that often has a relatively small maximum aperture. In contrast, a DSLR can use many different lenses, almost all of which will be better than that on any given point and shoot. I know it is difficult, but if you are already wishing that you had full manual control, then take the time to save up for a DSLR. A point and shoot, even one with full manual controls, is simply no match.

Go to dpreview.com and look at the digital cameras and reviews. As long as you use a card reader, any digital camera will be compatible with a Mac.
