Hello, anon!

The Sony 717 is down to that price range now that the 828 is out. Check it
out. 5MP, 5X zoom, and lots of features. A real good camera!

I agree with Hogleg44/40:
If you can get a Sony 707 or 717 for a nice price, go for it.

And concerning your photo printer... Also look for the canon range.
The photosmart printer series are called that way because the printer has a
build-in flashcard reader. IMHO not realy something to go for, unless you
realy realy want to be able to print phot's right from your Camera. If you
can live with printing through your PC, you realy should take a look at the
canon range. Especialy if you are going to print a lot. 4 seperate int
cardridges will be quite cost-effective if you print fulll-color. The Canon
i560 is my personal favorite, but others will also do the same job. The
Canon i560 is about 140 Euro's (So you could pend the extra cash to the
camera, media or aditional battery)

If you can go a little higher, get the Canon Digital Rebel ($999 w/lens,
too new to get any discounts). It is far better than any of the ones you
listed. I got mine about a month ago and am really pleased.

I am one of the last people to push Sears as a place to buy a camera but
here is the deal. They have the 717 Sony model for $799.99. Bestbuy.com
(Which I would not buy from because if you want to return anything they
stores wont return it you have to go through the online store which is
actually a seperate business from my understanding) has it for $720. Now
keep in mind there is a $100 mail in rebate through Sony right now for this
camera. So what I would do is print out the order page through Bestbuy.com
and go to your local Sears store. They will price match plus 110% of the
difference so they should end up charging you $720- 110% ($88) of the
difference so you will pay $632 plus tax at Sears then you will get the $100
back from Sony so you are looking at $532 for the 717 plus tax. How can you
beat that?

The camera would be $720-$8 at Sears so $712 - $100 Sony rebate. The
camera would be $612 plus tax not the $532 I posted previous.
