That is pretty big. If I was going for something like that. I would chose ths 8mpixel one.

Ok I decided to postpone my camera purchase off for another week or two to do some more research I decided if I can spend $180 why not bump it up a notch and get a better camera these are the two I am looking at the <a href="http://www.electrodiscounts.com/digital/discr25933.htm">Sony DSC-W7 </a> and the <a href="http://www.electrodiscounts.com/digital/discr26507.htm">Olympus Camedia C-7000</a> so if any one has an opinion on these cameras would be great

I like the Sony but couldn't afford the £200 price of it in the UK.

If you want opinions and detailed spec. Have a look at the Amazon.co.uk page for it.

It's pretty the same as my Cyber-Shot S90 but with higher pixels.

I was leaning towards the Sony as well the price tag has a lot to do with it.Thanks for the link nwg the site was helpful
EDIT
----------------------------
I just found this one it is a 7 pix as well with a friendlier price <a href="http://www.electrodiscounts.com/digital/discr26474.htm">OLYMPUS SP-310</a>

I always like Steves Digicams very detailed Camera reviews. Here is his DSC-W7 one.

I have had a few Olympus and they were ok. They did do nice photos but a few things I didn't like so much.

The flash was often overpowering.

The movie mode was Quicktime and just 320 resolution with no sound. They also had a limit on how long the cips were.

Tiny screens (1"-1.5") and not many pixels which showed less detail.



The Sony's has a option to raise and lower the power of the flash. Also, the movie mode is mpeg with sound. It also only limits the length of the clip buy the amount of memory in the camera. A 512MB Memory Stick can do 20 minutes of 640 x 480.

The Sony's have 2.5" screen (except for Sony S80 which is 2"). The Sony screens have always been superb and have fluid motion with no jerkiness and good colour/contrast. I had a Sony Mavica which actually used floppy disks to record in (late 1990's). The screen was like 3.5" and was massive. The screens on the current cameras look the same just smaller.

I was talking about my three models which did not have that.

[atifsh]

my mistake i thought ur talking bout the All olympus

My dad's Olympus takes forever to take pics. And the videos are 320x240 MOV files that have sound, but the qual sucks, and you have to almost shout into the mic to make it pick up the sound. I am quite happy with the DSC-S90, and I just purchased one earlier. I will let you guys know once the camera comes in (I ordered it online) and maybe provide some pics, probably of my computer setup.

Did you order a memory stick?

What card did the Olympus use. My ones used smartmedia which was slow to save. The speed of the internal memory of the S90 is almost instant.

[drfsupercenter]

No, I did not order a Memory Stick yet. My dad's olympus used XD cards.
