Go to www.cnet.com.  They have comparisons there on digital cameras.  I
purchased a Sony Mavica D83 and have been very pleased with it.  It uses floppy
disks.  I can get about 18 640x480 (fine) .JPG's that are ready to be read off
disk by my computer.  No cords, cards, etc.  A great feature.
Takes up to 1216x960 which to me is about the middle of the resolution scale. 
Also, it records MPEG and audio.  A must see!
