A compilation photo of all the digital cameras in my collection.
Hewlett Packard PhotoSmart 215 - This was my first digital camera that I got as a CompUSA combo deal with a HP Printer that died years ago. A big bulky camera that ate 4 AA batteries quickly, took too long to shoot and then recycle the flash, and shot grainy 1 megapixel photos. A very frustrating camera to use but still it was novel for me back in 2001 to be able take a photo and print it out in minutes.
Kodak EasyShare CX4200 - I think I picked this up at a 2002 Best Buy "black friday" sale. For a basic no-zoom 2 MP "point & shoot" camera it took very good pictures. I later gave it to my parents so they could learn digital photography. They kept returning it to me with dead batteries and I couldn't figure out why. It finally hit me that I didn't teach them to turn the camera off when they weren't using it. :)
Kodak EasyShare CX6445 - Two years later at another Best Buy Black Friday sale I bought this one, I think I paid around $50 for it...good deal. I used this 4 MP camera for several years and took it to Megaplex, RCFM, MFM and FWA in 2006-7. The only problem with this one was a very slow ISO (not good for action shots) and only had a tiny 320 x 240 movie mode.
Canon PowerShot SX100 IS - My old faithful superzoom that I've taken to every con since MFM 11 in 2007 and used last week at Furry Fiesta 2. It works great with plenty of lighting with the auto settings, but in low light I had to learn to tweak the manual settings to get the best out of it. It also eats regular and rechargeable batteries quickly so the best ones to use are more expensive lithium batteries. So I started looking for a new camera a few months ago, looked at several models and finally found the one I wanted on sale at Fry's...
Canon Powershot G11 - My new baby. I didn't want a big DSLR but one more advanced than a point & shoot and with a movie mode. This one has plenty of features, a better movie mode (but not widescreen) and uses block rechargeable batteries. I like the ISO and exposure dial. Maybe I will get a big flash to blind people too. :D And after experimenting with it for 2 days seems to handle very low light and moving objects better. I'll be taking it to FWA next month to see what it does.

I retired the Powershot G11 in 2003 because it only did 480p mono video. So did some shopping and picked up a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-10V, which is smaller but takes good pictures and excellent 1090p 60 fps video. But it had a couple of things that I wanted improved, so two years ago I took a chance bought a recertified DSC-HX20V for only $170 off Woot.com, which is my main camera now.
I really need to upgrade to a larger camera soon. But I dont like lugging a big DSLR camera around at a con, and haven't done any serious comparison and shopping.
