* Will you be making big prints of your photos or not? 8X10 at the most

Will you be shooting a lot of indoor photos or low light photos? yes

Will you be shooting sports and/or action photos? no

Miscellaneous

Are there particular brands you like or hate? like kodak and have had an olympus since day one when they came out and still use it to this day since kodak broke :( do own a canon and not happy at all due to definite shutter lag :(

Are there particular models you already have in mind? would like a kodak since I liked the point and shoot of it and I have had no problems with my olympus hubby had a sony one that he seemed to enjoy also :-/

(If applicable) Do you need any of the following special features? would like it to definitely have video and have hardly any shutter lag if possible if it does have it hopefully something faster than my canon in the idea world it would also take compact flash cards since I have so many from my other cameras if not I will cope with having another kind of memory card as long as the shutter lag is hardly none

*thanks for any help anyone can give I have done some research but there are so many sites that have so many conflicting reviews :( Once again thanks for any help!!!*
