Two years ago, I wanted to buy a digicam, but knew
next to *nothing* re digital technology.  Where to start?
I'd like to share with you a valuable digicam dedicated
website.  www.imaging-resource.com

Here you will learn, *before buying, everything one needs
to know to make a decision that will suit your needs &
wallet.  You'll become digicam literate, read in-depth reviews
of available models & accessories, compare features, & cost.
(This site is non-commercial.)

Best of all:
Use the site's remarkable "Comparometer" that allows you to
actually see & compare digital images, side by side, of different
digital cameras you might be considering!

There's a Q & A forum & archives--here you can ask questions
& get quick help.  There's also a model review section with input
from actual users.  I *highly recommend this site.
Spend some time on this site & you'll end up with a digicam that
truly suits your needs.  It's fun, too.
