ita, don't forget to check the reviews on Steve's and dpreview.com.
We just picked up a Sony DSC-V3, as our Nikon is nearly six years old and our little Canon doesn't suit our needs any longer. Will report back on it once I've used it some.
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

Actually, I should start looking around at digital cameras, as mine is old, literally falling apart, and is 2.0 megapixels (hey, I *said* it was old!), and I'd like a higher-megapixel one for my brother's wedding.
Hmmm.

Hey. New board.
How big is the screen, D?
My ruler is packed away, but i'm guessing 2x3 inches, with a 640x480 resolution packed into it (four times the resolution of most PDAs, apparently). I understand some of the more expensive VGA res PDAs have slightly larger physical screens, but this one is quite nice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How much can you watch on that? It seems very wee.

Hey. New board.
(shrug) If you turn it in landscape mode (which is just a button push), it's almost as wide as a PSP screen, and is taller. It's big enough as long as I don't try to prop it against a wall and stretch out on a couch.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Okay, this is bizarre -- I'm now running iTunes on my Windows desktop work computer. And when I rip a CD to MP3s it will only actually import every other track.
I can get around it by first importing 1, 3, 5, 7 et cetera, and then goign back and reclickign on 2, 4, 6, 8, et cetera. Which is a bit of a pain.
I just can't figure out why this mistake should happen, and can't come up with a clue as to how to fix it.

Gah. My digital camera has lost any pretension of sync between the lens and the viewfinder. If it's centred in the VF, the subject is high and right in the resulting image.
The preview screen is fine, so it's not the end of the world. However, I hate taking pics that way (it's nowhere near as good in situation where the flash is required).
The last time I tried to have my (analog) camera repaired, the estimate was more than the replacement cost.
Is digital repair generally costly?
