Has anyone bought on recently? I am thinking of getting a new 7 megapixel compact soon.
Could you post which one you got and what it's like?

Sweet, looks like an SLR.. I heard the lens is a bit better than Sony, but I like the compactness of the snap and shoot stuff. Like the Sony DSC W7 or DSC P200.. The Canon one's are quite nice, but not sure about the outer casing on them.

i want a decent phone/pda combo with a cameraphone that doesn't suck.
megapixels i care less about rather than picture quality, especially in darker conditions (related to the small lens on cameraphones i believe).
doesn't seem one exists, though :-(

Yes, indeed they do.
But it's true that SLRs are a bit cumbersome if you just want to shoot random stuff while you're out and about.

7 megapixels is perfect. I have a camera with 5.1 magapixels and it does always awesome photos. Really a great quality...
A little sample, resized though...

i want to have one, maybe i'll have one for my birthday... but i don't know which one to choose... so i'm checking guides and stuff...
if you say Nikon is a good brand, this one looks pretty cool... i don't know.

It "looks" good, but you have to take into account how easy it is to hold. If it's too small and waif like it's harder to keep steady, which would mean blurrier pictures. That's why I think I'm going for the DSC-W7, which is still compact but a bit more substantial to hold.
I also held a Sony DSC-T7, which is even more waif like , and sort of proves my point. I'm be worried about it sliding out of my hand!

yes, you're right... i thought about that after i posted it.
and i read a review saying it was very slow (big delay between you pressing the button and the camera taking the picture), which is annoying i guess. the other reviews were good though.
i'll check some other models out...

i thought of the Canon Ixus 700 too. but i don't know. it's more expensive as well (and that doesn't necessarily mean better quality).

Also, these two are good in the 6/7 megapixel class of compacts:
Fuji Finepix F10 Panasonic DMC-FX7

Nice.. an SLR. If I get more enthusiastic following my experiments with the snap and shoot on Holiday next month, I'll probably make the upgrade.

I've got an unused Canon 1D Mark II which I bought for £300 and my Nikon Digital SLR as part exchange. Nice deal I thought. It's too big though and I haven't had the chance to use it yet. Maybe next month when I go to Iceland. Dunno about compact cameras. I've got a Canon A95 at the moment which does everything I need it to.

"But it's true that SLRs are a bit cumbersome if you just want to shoot random stuff while you're out and about."
Uh? People have been used Reflex bodies for almost a century now. It's the most commonly widespread camera type in the world. The vast majority of photos in the existance of humanity have been done with that type of camera.
They aren't cumbersome at all, in fact I find that smaller cameras are worse than any SLR will ever be for taking pictures.

What I mean is, if I just walk to the shops, go clubbing or something - I'm not so likely to take my SLR with me. I might see something I want to shoot, but can't.
That said, I do take it with me quite a lot. You just have to get into a habit of carrying it around. But I only take it with me when I'm in the mood to take some pictures.
