i've been looking to buy a new digital camera for some time now, but i've been looking at so many reviews that i'm getting really confused and split on what i should get. when i got visit the stores, it seems like all the cameras are really good.
another problem i have is that i always tend to choose the prettier camera and not always the best one.

so things i'm looking for:
-small/thin not too chunky
-at least 5megapixel
and it has to be pretty =)

thanks everyone =)

I have the Canon SD30 in black. It's small, cute, and 5.0 megapixel also! My friends love this camera; and so do I! You can practically fit it in the palm of your hand. No joke. This camera can easily fit into a small purse and it's lighweight also.

There's TONS of special effects too. Their 'my colors' function is so awesome.

kodak v530 or v550 are pretty much the same camera with a few differences...
i really like it.. it's the size of a credit card, and only .9 inches thick.. if you pay extra money for the v530 you can get it in red or pink (i got the black one for $180 from beachcamera ....)

have you seen the billions of threads about digital cameras here? they would have at least given you a good idea on where to look at cameras and what brands you want.

^well yeah
i checked the 'show off ur digi cam' thread but everyone seems to have canons, which i dont particularly like

i found one recently.. panasonic fx 01 that i kindof like... but thanks for your suggestions

imuhhater: ooo i love that camera! its soooo beautiful.. but i looked up some of the reviews and ppl seem to say the flash isn't that good and it has a really weak battery.. i hate it when electronics have weak batteries coz my mp3 player died that way

;; hows the battery life on urs?
tru__minute: is that the new one w/ the kate moss commerical?
so two ppl have suggested the kodak v530.. i'll have to check that out.. =)

I personally don't think that the battery-life is weak at all. As for the flash, I think it's fine. It's difficult from a far distance, but other than that, I see no problem with the flash.

hmm. why don't you like canon? it's always been raved as #1 in digital camera quality. so i recommend any canon cameras because they're all good. but if you don't like it then i guess never mind.
