Recently bought a Sony DSCW100 which is great: no shutter lag, long battery life, and small enough to carry in jeans pocket

You can get a W70, which has slightly lower resolution, but has more optional accessories like docking station and extra tele and macro lenses.
And it's cheaper than a Canon (in my neck of the woods anyways...)

If you want a wide angle point and shoot Kodak V570

With an average price of ~$350.00 for a 5MP, it's WAY overpriced. Not to mention the fact that Kodak's easy share system blows IMO. You can get A LOT more camera with the Canons for the price.

I have the Canon SD550 and the Kodak. Both good cameras , the Kodak extra wide lens is a important feature to me. The Canon software is maybe a little bit better but they don't offer a Ultra wide lens. The Kodak is thiner and actually is easyer to carry. I got the SD550 for xmas and the LCD screen failed. Canon just fixed for free. The placement of the LCD screen on the Canon is such that it offers no protection. The Canon offers 7 Mega Pixs vs the Kodak at 5. Not sure that you really can see the difference.

CNET reviewer says when it is dark or too bright it is, but unless you are using manual setting you won't be able to the get the pictures in this case?
Any opinions?

I did love the bight 3" LCD screen of a pantax model. Yes no optical veiwfinder. I love the fact some camera records in DiVx format since it will record longer and maybe play my favorite DiVx movies.

I spend 1G on the first Sony Cybershot model five years ago which is now useless. I lookeed at many digical cameras at CircuitCity Monday, and I love the Pentax best.

Oh, I HATE the EasyShare software, it monopolizes file association and resources very slow and got large footprint, virtually I cannot do much when it is installed.

As someone mentioned earlier Pixel Capacities are way overrated. those 8 meg pixel pictures you cannot even see the whole picture in the top of the line monitors, unless you are printing life-size pictures what's the point?

There's some facy picture stablization hardware out there... Can someone tell me what really works?

I agree, my BIGGEST complaint of any kodak camera is their software. It is absolutely HORRIBLE, and a HUGE memory HOG. I'm pretty good on a computer, and when taking pics with my brothers Kodak, for the life of me I couldn't even figure out how to download and save my images.

Easyshare, it down loads pictures easy however it did want to claim every jpeg had to go back in and change the file assoiation.

The review I attached seemed to like the software?
