amy and i have been looking at getting a digital camera. i thought she wanted to wait on purchasing one but it seems i was wrong. anyhow, i’ve been reading on them on different sites. the one i’ve read a lot of good things about has been the nikon coolpix 5700. there’s a pretty detailed review over here, here, here, and here. pages and pages of details with images, details, flaws and everything. there have also been some good reviews of this camera in the astronomy discussion groups and mailing lists. it doubles pretty well for astrophotography and produces some great images. i’ll keep looking around though and if you have any information on other units please let us know.
