1) Don\'t buy any camera under 5MP. You can easily get a Olympus C5050Z for 560$.

2) Don\'t buy a Sony digital still camera. They\'re cheap, sure. But its lenses are also cheap.

3) Don\'t buy a 3.2 MP camera for 560$. That\'s a robbery.

4) If you truly like photography, buy a digital SLR. (min. 6.3 MP)

Come on! You can buy a 5MP camera in USA for half the price you do in Europe. Instead of spend 560$ in a 3.2 MP, spend 20 more and get a complete pack of 5mp good camera, bag, filters and controller...

Tyrant, if I had money, I would already have one. But I haven\'t, so I\'m saving for one :p

Olympus C5050 - Almost 5 megapixels. At $800 (retail) or less(online - gamble), it\'s worth every dollar.

I should have add that I paid $90 for the 3 years insurance and $60 for 64mb x-tra memory. So I only paid $410 for it.

UMM, a 3 MP camera would be just fine.  Its the lens that you need to pay attention to.
