Hey folks, I`m getting a digital camera for Christmas and was wondering what you think the best one is. I think I am going to go for the Kodak Easyshare DX6440, but wanted some other advice.
Any help is appreciated.

What do you want it to do?
I`m getting a digital camera for Christmas too and have plumped for the Minolta F200, as it offers Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Full Manual exposure modes as well as Auto Exposure and Program Modes. 4MP and a very good lens - £216 from Empire Direct; leaves enough from £250 for a set of rechargeables and a decent memory card.
Personally I`ve never been a big fan of Kodak cameras. I also considered the Canon A series cameras but could only get the A70 with 3.2MP for the money I had but there are loads of other cameras around if you don`t /need manual exposure modes; cameras like Minolta`s XT, Casio`s Exilims and a couple of others are seriously tempting for their portability and jewel-like qualities!

Crispy, thanks for that, I think I`ll go with the Minolta, just read some very good reviews of it. Cheaper too which is good!
