I am not electronics savvy in any way. I want to get my FH a digital camera as part of his wedding gift. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good one? TIA!

Re: Digital camera question
I'm an electronics spaz so I don't know pixels or anything but I suggest getting something with a big screen. It's so hard to see the pictures with a tiny screen. Our screen is almost most of the camera and everyone comments about how great of a feature it is.

i'm also an electronic spaz, but get the higher number of pixels you can affort. There are now 10's on the market. Make for better pics.

I really don't know electronics-but we got a canon from FILs for x-mas and I love it! They also gave us a Canon printer that is phenominal-works excellent to tranfer & print photos from your camera and computer.

I love my Nikon CoolPix. When I took digital photography classes in college this is what we used and now I'm pretty Nikon loyal.

Re: Digital camera question
I got FH a digital camera when he got deployed the second time.
I used to work for Canon, so I've learned a bit about cameras and have 4 digital cameras!
I do recommend Canon Powershot cameras--they're great and last and have lots of features. Most not only have a screen in the back, but also a viewfinder too so that you don't have to necessarily use the screen.
I currently have the Casio Exilim, which I love! It is smaller and more compact than the Canon and has 7.2 megapixels with a large screen in the back. It has no viewfinder and is amazingly easy to use. You can choose the best setting in which to take your pictures (outdoor, low-light, candlelight--there are about 23) and it takes a good amount of video too! What's great about it too is that if you are taking action shots, you can take shot after shot--most digital cameras have a few seconds delay between shots to power up. With this one, there is none.
Unless you are a professional, there really is no need for anything with like a 10 megapixel because after about 6, the difference in pictures is almost none for the regular user. Also keep in mind, the higher the mega-pixel, the less amount of pictures you'll be able to hold in your memory card.
FM if you need more info!

Re: Digital camera question
Depends on what kind of camera you want to get him... just a point and shoot camera, D-SLR, SLR like, etc. Try checking out these 2 sites for reviews and stuff: www.dpreview.com www.dcresource.com
I've used them when buying my each of my digital cameras, and whenever I have bought them as gifts....very helpful.
