You forgot the obligatory "Camedia"....I think that's the one Oly is working on now...to be named the
"Olyak 3100 24/7 HyperZoom"...
The new Minolta Dimage 7 was sooo much better than expected.
It adresses ALL my complaints on the 2100. The only drawback (for
me that is) is the 200 mm full zoom and no IS. Mechanical control
of zoom and focus, not the fly-by-wire!
If this is for real I will start save for a new x-mas gift to
myself righ now!

come! ;-)

"Dee-mahge," apparently. Right: as if it were French.CoolPix? Dimage? Good grief! Dimage??? How are you supposed to
pronounce that, anyway? Like it were French? Like "image" with a
D in front of it?
Someone in another forum has just announced that with the introduction of the Dimage 7, the Olympus E-10 is reduced to little more than a "glorified Instamatic." And guaranteed, not so many months from now when some other whiz-bang system appears (say, Olympus' digital interchangeable-lens SLR), folks of like mind will be announcing that the Dimage 7 is little more than a "glorified Instamatic." Ah, common sense.There will ALWAYS be something better coming out. If you think
you're going to find a digicam that's going to be state-of-the-art
for more than a few months, you'll drive yourself crazy.
There's only one thing that really matters in the end: creating
great photographs.

You said it Gary. I have a 3.3mp that I use for portrait work and the Oly 2500 and 2100 for field and fun. Then too I have a Canon F1 with every lens and gadget ....in the closet.....no longer used....so I really can't get excited about a 5 mp. I print 11x14 now with beautiful results and I really don't need 1.67mp more. I see in the Canon forum that Pekka has gone to the D30. If I could do what he has done with the 3.3mp G1 I would be very happy. At least I know it is possible. Right now it seems less is more. I have the tools needed to produce those "great" photos and once in awhile I do. ..Lectraglide

The C2100's burst mode is nothing to sneeze at either. With all200 mm full zoom and no IS.
those pixels to slog around, the D7 is understandably slower (and
cannot buffer as many pictures).
They each have their strengths.
I don't think the D7 will have a direct effect on the 2100 price - they are in very different leagues, with the 2100 currently close to $600 (lowest prices), and D7 (when it ships, which may still be a while) about $1500. Besides, in terms of the zoom power the D7 is a different animal too - it has a wider WA - its telephoto reach is nearly half that of the 2100.I was thinking about the c-2100 and shopping around for best price
when I saw this - WoW!
This will force down all the ultrazooms pricess down. I will now
wait for c2100 and other ultrazooms prices to drop before I get
them. 2 megapixel is sufficient for me, since I seldom ever print
beyond 8 x 10 sizes.
