I'd like it to be able to capture short video as well - nothing crazy. I've been using a 2mega pixel HP PhotoSmart for a few years but it's clunky and doesn't do video...It's dated and is enough to get by but who wants to just get by?

What is the best size megapixel camera for the buck?

Ease of use?

Are video's easily uploadable/downloadable/edited?


I'm wondering if maybe I should get a camera for photo's and a digital recording device for video's... Thoughts, epinions?

i have a konica/minolta Dimage Z10 . it has 3.2 mega pixels. nice zoom znd more features than i can figure out how to use.

also with a large SD card i can shoot 48+ minutes of video, or 1800 still pictures.

I am a bit of a photographer-amateur--and my two cents is to go digital at least with a 5 MP point and shoot---their video capabilities are not as good as a real dedicated video camara--so, sound and sharpeness on the videos will not be there.

Canon powershots are good camaras--but we are talking around $300 dollar range and up for 5 MP.

Believe it or not--I still shoot with my 35 mm SLR, fully manual camara--I just like to suffer and have fun trying to figure out all my exposure settings. But I do carry around a powershot S50 (older model) for day to day pics and video. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
