Need help choosing. Anyone?

Nah...I think Canon hired him. GP loves Sigma and hates Canon....and GP is
an idiot so the thing to do is to buy Canon and not Sigma. Yep....he was
hired by Canon. They didn't have to pay much....the mentally handicapped
don't even have to be paid minimum wages.

I wouldn't buy any of those cameras if I were you. Be aware that all
of them use outdated, dinosaur sensor technology. They record images
in monochrome instead of color. Only Sigma digital cameras record
images in color due to the highly acclaimed Foveon sensor. The Sigma
SD10 should be at the top of your list. You can't buy a better camera
in terms of image quality, build quality, ergonomics, lens/accessory
availability, and advanced features (such as built in camera-shake
elimination). Forget about those **** boxes you listed and buy
yourself the SD10.

Did Sigma or someone invested in Sigma pay this guy or something. In
my years of using different camera equipment, I have always been fond
of Sigma. But this guys is really turning me off on Sigma.

.. or you could look at the Nikon Coolpix 8700 or one of the other 8MP
zoom caeras...

I'm browsing the 3MP category. Above that, everything costs way too much for
me.

Sigma use the newly discovered coloured binaryy digits. Up to now binary
digits could only record black and white ( zero or one). The new ones used
in the Foveon can store an infinite number of colours in each binary digit,
and they are guaranteed to be fade-free, vibration proof, always in focus,
use zero power, and can even be re-cycled through the flashgun when you
delete unwanted frames :-)

I AM joking, but I am sure these will soon be quoted extensively on this and
other photo newsgroups.

Let's not. If you are going to troll, try now to blend into an ongoing
discussion or war with a "contribution" that's vaguely similar to a
point of view, appears that you have some knowledge of the subject
matter, and not cross posted to all the groups above.

Are you up to snuff, "Mat"??

Yes, "he" probably means to carry on a wee little flame war. Perhaps we
can let it die here and now? Please.

Monochrome means single color, not necessarily black or white. Each pixel
in most digital cameras sense only one color, Red, Green or Blue. In the
case of the Sigmas, they stack 3 monochrome silicon sensors (RGB) over each
image sensor, with the idea, and forlorn hope, that this will lead to
accurate color reproduction. So far, that hope goes unrequited...
