Does it do MMS?
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Wish I could help you Tom, but I still use a completely manual film camera!
I was thinking of converting to digital and borrowed my housemate's digital point and shoot for my trip down the coast. Since the battery died after just a few pictures, it only made me appreciate my old camera more.

Don't know. Don't think so.
It has a color screen.
And does Instant Messaging from all the most popular services.
It does speed dial....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Just to throw more confusion on the fire.... Generally, digital cameras advertise the number of pixels on the CCD, but the CCD tends to be a different size (smaller, I think) than a frame of 35mm film is. So as a result, a lens designed for a 35mm camera will produce somewhat different results when used on a digital camera. Ideally you'd want the CCD to be the same size as a frame of 35mm film - if this were the case then a lens designed for 35mm would act exactly the same on a digital camera.

It's more that I don't have the funds for a digital SLR, but the battery issue brought home that I don't want to go completely digital. I do not want to have to bring chargers on vacation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I tried to stay completely manual, but lens availability and price sure stopped that. My film SLR can go pretty auto, so there's a charger with me either way.

I was just kidding!
Wish I had the money for a nice digital SLR, though.

Our wings are not tired
The high end DSLR cameras do have a full size image sensor. Of course those are the ones that run $3000 and up.

Coding and Sleeping
We have a Canon Digital Rebel and bought a cheap third party battery. With two batteries we can take about 800 pictures without any charging.
I'd recommend the Canon, I think the lowest end SLR Canon sells now is better than our camera and ours is fabulous. Lots of lenses available as well. I can't say anything about the Nikons since I've never used them, I expect they are quite good as well.
