Digital Cameras I am going to purchase a digital camera. I teach fire training courses and need landscape photos. Can you help me with my decision on purchasing a camera? I have used a Sony #71 and am some what pleased with it but is there a camera that will do a better job for less cost.

With the Sony Mavica MVC-FD71, you have the simplicity and ease of saving your images to a common floppy disk. This is unique and not to be thought of lightly; anything that simplifies the process is a big help. Other features add to the attraction of the Sony - among which are the incredible zoom, the rechargeable battery, and the big monitor for image review. If I was considering all my options, though, I would ask myself if I planned on printing those landscape images and, if so, how big. If you ever might need printed images in the 5" x 7" to 8" x 10" range, steer toward the Kodak's DC240 or DC215 Zoom Digital Camera Millenium Edition, two cameras that will give a lot more resolution than the Sony for a little less money. The DC240 gives more zoom, which you might helpful for composing those landscapes.

(cont.) Also look at the Olympus D-340R Digital Camera for an even less expensive option that still delivers quality images and high resolution. These options will require more work and involvement with the computer, but the output will be more versatile.

I have been using the Sony Digital Mavica FD83 with floppy. It has exceeded my expectations beyond belief. It truly has been a lifesaver for me and one of the easiest to use digital cameras I have found. Quality is outstanding and I get very high praise over and over about my photos.
