Digital cameras
Still haven't plunged in. Still limping along with the small Musetek I got at QVC or HSN several eons ago. It takes good outdoor photos but doesn't do as well indoors and anyway I want snazzier pictures. I tried those sites that promise to show you which cameras you should consider but they simply ignore some things such as size of LCD (ideally 3") and manual controls (I want a lot available tho' not required) and shutter speed (quick, of course), etc., etc. (which is why I'm not going to link any of them). They seem to have agendas about particular cameras (pro Canon, anti Nikon) and certain criteria they weigh more heavily than others (even though they don't tell you so). For example, I said no less than a 2.5" LCD yet three sites showed me cameras with 1.8". I said uncompressed tiff or raw mattered yet they showed me cameras with none. Wouldn't you think a computer could gather information based on one's wish-list? I would. Yes I could just close my eyes and point at the Nikon or Sony that comes closest (I've been disappointed with Fuji's and Canon's coloring and sharpness, and am wary of most other brands) but that seems lame. Anyone got any great ideas of how to go about doing this rationally?

PS. I read somewhere that you can get good deals on the Nikon D40 because they've brought out a D40x with 10mp sensor instead of 6.
If you don't intend to do large prints, the 6mp is fine.

That will do for starters.
