I purchased this little camera on a suggestion from a friend and the images dont seem too good. Not really any better than my old 2600z. Wondering what you guys think...

Here is a link to some pics...

What do u guys think? For 300 i think i could do better... what do u guys think?

I bought an sd card and got a great deal... so whatever camera i get has to take sd....

I dont care about size either..

Honestly, i dont need an easy to use camera. I had my first digital and i know how to use it.

It sounds like you need a cam that...

1.) Will provide some advanced features so you can extend your skills

2.) Has excellent optical performance

Here is the best site I know of to do reasearch on what might be right for you.

//www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Casio/casio_exz40.asp is a review. You can compare it to others reviewed there - the reviewsa re VERY thourough and consistent.

Newegg.com has it for $255. Newegg is a good outfit, good prices.

What are you looking for in camera? Small and pocjetable or more advanced features?

Nikon and Fuji make both...both are good. I went from one fuji to another and that kept eh learning curve relatively flat. My buddy has an older Nikon 'pocket' camera (to me..about the size of a pack of cigs) and it impresses me for it's size.

Thanks for the posts guys. I am not sure what exactly i am looking for. I shake bad, so i was thinking i wanted image shake. However, with this camera i have now, i dont seem to show too much shake but i do see some. Plus i am 6 foot 4 245lbs. So i was thinking i need a decent sized camera such as a slr like. Plus, i want some advanced features. I thought about the s5100 from fuji but i have seen some bad noise in the corners of alot of photos from that camera. Not sure though. I do want to print out some 8 x 10s but more of the 4 x 6's would be more useable.

Thanks guys. Let me know what you think.

Get a tripod and cable release to prevent the crack shakes

Thanks guys. Let me know what you think.

anyone else have suggestions?

second hand sony dsc V1 cameras are ridiculously cheap these days. I'm sorely tempted myself. though with my camera I'm sorely tempted by everything.

Pentax Optio 555

I really like this one. It has great features and is very compact. I had the Optio 550 and unfortunately that is what started me on this damn photography road. No turning back now!

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ3 with Image Stabilizer and 12X zoom. Under $300 after rebate at CircuitCity.com.

I ordered one and should arrive in a couple days :)
