Best digital camera in the market
Sony came up with three 4.1 Megapixel digital camera recently :
Cybershot DSC P41, P43 and P73. I believe the difference between P41 and P43 is that P43 comes with battery charger and NiMH rechargeable batteries, and P41 does not. P73 is about $100 more and has 3x optical zoom instead of 3x digital zoom in P41 and P43. All of the above does not have internal storage, and therefore need a memory stick to work. My question is: What is a good digital camera to buy? Which one is better among these: Nikon, Sony, Canon, Konica/Minolta, Samsung, Pentax, Olympus? Which has the better lens, and which has the better mechanical and electronic quality? The P41 is small, use regular AA batteries and has a good price. The design and style looks very good too. Also, there are so many storage media these days : Sony's memory stick, Compact flash, Secure Digital, xD media, and others. Which ones are most common and cheapest? Thanks for comments |

aniram asks:

Which one is better among these: Nikon, Sony, Canon, Konica/Minolta, Samsung, Pentax, Olympus Well, if I had my druthers, I'd have the Canon EOS 1D mark II, with a half dozen lenses. Life being what it is, I've got a Pentax *ist on its way to me, with, for now, one lens. Now, for any answer to make sense, you really need to state what kind of shooting you want to do, how much you can spend, similar stuff. Compact flash is currently the most popular and readily available storage medium. Charlie Self "It is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man." H. L. Mencken |

Best digital camera in the market
For me this is a very easy question to answer
It is the one I own and am using Obviously it has far more important features than the ones I don't have. The first of these is that the one I own can be used by moi to take photos The countless millions I do not own cannot be used by me to take any photos by me.

Hi Aniram,
There's no "best" camera out there. The right model will really depend on what you want from the camera. Will you be shooting a lot of sports? If yes, then you should be looking at cameras with stronger zoom lenses such as the Minolta DiMAGE A2, Fuji S5000, S7000, etc. Are you more interested in close-up photography? If yes, then a camera with an exceptional macro mode (Nikon's, Sony's) may be the better choice. If you stick with Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Sony or other major brand cameras the build-quality shouldn't be a deciding factor. When it comes to choosing the right camera I'd suggest reading some reviews to see which cameras in any given price range offers a cleaner, sharper image, and of course, the features you might want today or as you grow into the camera.

Thanks for all of the information
I finally settled with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC50. It has a leica lens, 3x optical zoom, 3.2 Mega pixel. The movie does not have sound like earlier version (LC33), or higher end model (LC70). I tried a few pictures, and quite happy with it. It may "drink" a lot of AA alkaline batteries, since it does not have the "Stamina" feature as in Sony's Cybershot. Price was very reasonable (less than $300), but does not include battery charger nor recharchable batteries. 8 Mb Secure Digital card was included. I think Sony Cybershot with 3.2 or newer 4.1 Mega pixel (and 3x optical zoom instead of digital zoom), or Nikon Coolpix 3200 (3.2 mega pixel)costs more. Thanks for all the input!
