I was just doing a search to see what kind of cameras everyone has and this thread turned up. Kinda old, but didn't want to start a new one of the same thing. And I'm guessing Olly got his camera and printer already..

I got a fujifilm finepix s5000 for mothers day and I love it. It's got 10X optical zoom and goes up to 6 mp. And the printer we have is a hpdeskjet 5550 which is great at printing out pictures..

Hi Annie,

Congratulation for getting the S5000
Since I started this thread, I got a Canon S800 (very good, with borderless prints) which is similar to the S900 but at a much lower price. You can read its (now old) review at http://www.steves-digicams.com/2002_...anon_s820.html
I also got a Nikon Coolpix 5000 with its WC-E68 wide angle converter (19mm) because the Canon Pro90 didn't have enough wide angle (it was only 29.6mm with its wide angle converter).
Both are great cameras but unfortunately they have slow autofocus.

Olly

6.3 MP Canon 10D here. Wonderful camera, but makes me want to buy more prime lenses.

The printer I use is an Epson Stylus 580, it seems to do a good job with pictures especially with the high quality paper, but it is very slow, but hey you get what you pay for I guess.
That is the camera that I have. I print my pictures off of a HP Officejet G55 and am pleased. It is a 3 in 1. If I were to print pictures more often I would get one just for photos, but I only print them out once in a while.

Vivatar Digital Camera

I have a 3.3 megapixel vivacam digital camera with 4X digital zoom. We have had it for over a year now and thinking of getting a new one. It is a good camera though and takes pretty decent pictures.

We do our photo printouts on a lexmark P3150 printer. I can simply insert my camera card into the slot on the printer and the pics automatically come up and print. It has both color and photo color ink. It is also a copier/scanner. It prints excellent pics.

You would do better to also invest into a better printer lex marks are noatoriously horrible in quality both printing and manufacturing....Just an idea...

I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-717. Got it when it first came out almost two years ago. It has more features than I'll ever use, but my favorite is that it can be set to record a size suitable for E-mail simultanaeously with a high resolution photo.

A single high resolution would take about fifteen minutes to download on a dial up connection.

I have an HP 940c which is about four years old, and does a reasonably good job of printing script and photos, though the new models do a better job for less money.

Still, it is expensive, inkwise to print a lot of photos, so I'll load the photos I want printed onto a CD and take them to Walmart, and get better prints made at a lower cost than running them off on my printer.

What I am most happy about, is that I recently got a great deal on a new HP media center computer, so I can now plug the memory sticks and media cards directly into the computer's ports rather than using a cable link from the camera.

It downloads the largest Sony memory stick in a few seconds, compare to a few minutes on the old computer with the cable link.
