I am trying to figure out what I want in a digital camera. Up until now, I have only had the "ok" quality cameras. The more I take pictures, though, the more frusterated I become with the quality of the image I am getting. I am realllly not fluent in camera speak, so please someone help me!!! I am afraid I will end up with something that will either be too complicated or not the image I want. I need camera 101!!

I have no camera right now. I am looking to take indoor and outdoor pics... I mostly take pictures of my little girl, but am known to want to take some nature photos , ie the spiderweb in front of my house doesnt show on my camera... I have noticed when I print pictures they are very pixilated (spelling??) but maybe that is my printing (?)

I have a canon A570 IS, it uses 2AA batteries, can add lenses, has face recognition and image stabilization. Uses SD card. Fits in my purse. 4X optical. I bought a 2 G card for it, so I can take mini movies, I was surprised at how good the movies turned out especially outside.
What I don't like is the lagtime but I've heard that is basically a digital camera problem as it has to write to the card. From flash to finish is a little slow. Between shots slow. I only notice this when indoors using flash and trying to take pics of an active 18 month old. If she would only keep still!

What camera do you have? How many mega-pixels is it? Does it have an optical zoom rather than a digital zoom? Newer point and shoot cameras have at least 6 or 7 mega-pixels, more than enough for all but the really big enlargements. Under what conditions do you shoot? Low light? with flash or without? What is your budget? Do you need a small, compact point and shoot, or are you ready to step up to a digital SLR, such as a Canon Rebel or its Nikon, Pentax, Sony equivalent?

Take a look at the Pentax K10D DSLR. Its the latest in the line (K100D, K110D) and offers 10 megapixel, Image Stabilization (IS) in the body (unlike some which have it in the lens and it works with older manual focus lenses) and the Auto Focus drive is in the body (unlike some that have it in the lens). All Pentax K-mount lenses ever made will mount to this body. That is a lot of quality glass.
You can read a review at shutterbug.com. Just type k10d in the Search box.
