I have a ipaq 4150. Which digital camera do you guys recommend?

The only one I know is hp's camera, photosmart. But that one doesn't have a SD slot which means that I cannot use my SD memory card when using the camera...

thanks ppl

Ta ha! This is where the 2215 reigns supreme! You can't have your cake and eat it too, while I can!

Buahahaha!

But, then again, you have built in Wifi:(

Anyhow, there was a recent review about a camera built for the SD slot. It's around 40 bucks cheaper than the HP camera.

that's the question...

I kind of feal like that buyin' a real digital camera makes more sense... Now, you can find extremly small ones for good prices.
I just can't decide what to do...

what do you guys think? shall I buy a camera for my ipaq and save my pictures on its RAM, and then take it out to move the files to SD, and then bla bla....

so once again? I'm wondering which digital camera with SD slot is the best on the market?

it all depends on what you want. do not depend on the memory card. I had an Microdrive that I wanted to use but ended up buying a camera with CF I. I have a Canon S230 and love. for such a small camera is packs in tons of features and is great quality. Canon make ssome of the best digital imaging equipment out ther. Deoending on your price range, I recomend their S400 4 MP digialt camera. they also have a bulkier G3 but I tend to use the camera more if it fits comfortable into my pocket.

Canon does have an SD camera called the Powershot SD-100 (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canonsd100/). I was thinking about getting this camera myself. I love the size of it and the fact that it's SD based. But my inner cynic keeps wondering why there aren't many SD cameras out there. DPReview really liked the camera. It's 3 MP versus the Powershot S400 (which has my current attention if not for the CF vs SD thing).

I have a pentax optio s. 3.2 mp and uses sd media.

They just came out with the optio s4 - same cam but 4 mp.

www.stevesdigicams.com has a lot of reviews of different cameras.

my dad has the canon s400. it is a good cam, but my optio will fit inside it.

I've been through 5 olympus models, canon s100, casio exelim, and now have the optio s.

Don't forget about the Casio Exilim line... I believe they're all SD. My EX-S2 is now getting a bit long in the tooth (only 2MP no optical zoom), but it was a great purchase at the time, and tiny! :)
