I bought my 1st digital camera about a year and a half ago…a Kodak DX3600….it takes decent photos, but it’s become increasingly unreliable over time.
Meanwhile, I’ve found digital photography to be a real jobsite asset for a variety of reasons (not to mention personal use), so while the Kodak is being repaired, I decided to step up to a better quality camera.
But with the variety of new cameras available and with me still lumbering along with my limited SLR experience from the past, I started researching and found a terrific website with most all DC’s featured with professional reviews, owner opinions, etc.
Probably the most valuable info for me is the site’s very thorough tutorial on DC’s, from basic terminology through the most technical and esoteric aspects of digital photography.
If you’re contemplating a new camera, or just want to know more about the one you have go to www.dpreview.com
BTW, this seems to be a non-profit, non-commercial, independent site (and also has a forum that includes general discussions AND brand-specific discussion).
(And for those interested, I ended up ordering a Sony DSC-F717…)

Thanks for the link. I keep thinking that I'm getting a digital camera so the information is nice to have.

There is a good camera for contractors. It is the Olympus Camedia c-211. This is a 2.1 meg camera. The beauty of this camera is that it has a printer attached that will print polaroid film ( I think 500 series). Of course you don't need to print the pictures, but can download it to your computer. The reason that this camera didn't catch on despite good tech reviews is that as you can imagine it is large for a digital camera, about the size of a paperback book. I've seen the camera advertised on ebay for about $150.
i have the olympus 520(i think), nice little camera for documenting a job in process, nice zoom feature, easy to use etc etc
any digital camera is way more convinient than a regular film camera
