[AT] OT- Digital Cameras

[Mike S Meulenberg]

Hi All,
I am going to take the plunge and buy a digital camera. When I began
looking on the web however, my head started to spin. There seems to be so
many kinds and styles that I don't know where to start. I know that a lot
of you use digital cameras at shows and to show us your places and
assorted stuff. I would be interested in going to school on what you've
learned about digital cameras. I don't need one with all the bells and
whistles, because I probably would never use them. I'm looking for one
that is easy to use, good quality with good battery life. I've seen some
that require a separate dock to get the pictures into the computer. Do
they all need that, or can you hook some directly to the computer? Thanks
for any advice.

Regards,
Mike
