dunno if they are the dirt cheapest out there, but they always ship pretty quick and have the stuff in stock. i think right now they give free shipping and no sales tax as well

Jae I bought my Sony digi cam at Best Buy. It was like $400 but now they are around $320 or so. It's a 3.2 megapixel one that does video with sound. It says 30 second clips, but if you have a bigger memory card it takes longer video. The longest so far is about 2 minutes with a 128meg memory stick. I mainly bought it since I have a Sony MP3 that uses memory sticks and I had 2 128 sticks at home. But it's a sweet little camera.

If you don't mind waiting a while to get your camera, it's probably cheapest to order the camera off of Dell. They always have some sort of promo going, I think right now they have like 10% off plus an additional $30 off and 15% off memory. Just look up one of those deal websites to find out how to get all the discounts.

I recently purchased a DVcam from B&H camera and buydig.com
www.bhphotovideo.com
www.buydig.com

A good source to compare prices once you nailed down your choice would be www9.dealtime.com

Sup Jae. If you want a good small cam, the Sony cybershot series is pretty small, takes good pix, and is pretty affordable based on the megapixel of the cam. Canon also makes some good digicams.

First, check out:
Digital Photography Review - This site has reviews on all the cameras out on the market. It also has photo galleries of most of the cams.

Then go here:
Deal Time - This site has the cheapest prices for pretty much everything non-computer related. You can try e-bay, but make sure that it's brand new and shipping is decent. That's the one thing about e-bay that I hate. Prices may be good, but they try to jack you on shipping.

Good luck man and lemme know if you need any help pickin one out.
