[WEB4LIB] digital cameras

[Jim Rible]

We have the Sony Mavica MVC-FD91.  It uses diskettes as the "film" and saves images at varying resolutions.    It has zoom, steady shot, and many other features.  It saves in both jpg and bmp formats.  While the jpg is a lossy format, it serves our purposes very well.  You can take a picture, pop out the diskette, and put it on the web in minutes.

Good morning all,

We are considering purchasing a digital camera for use in taking
pictures for our public library's web page. I have begun reading reviews
of different ones, but am curious to hear some recommendations both of
brands and of various features to look for when purchasing one.  I'm not
all that familiar with these, and don't want either to pay for features we
don't really need nor purchase one that it so "bare bones" that it won't
meet our needs.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?  I'd love to hear
from you.

Thanks so much.
