You may find they have a different grade of lens on top of being higher res tho. I had a 3.2 and a 4 and couldnt tell the diff in terms of res becuase the F rating was the same on both.

There are alot of factors that make a good camera, the res once over 4mp (assuming you do not need a3 shots) is actually the least important.

Lens, processing and stablizer all contribute more to a good photo.

It depends on how u will use it most benny, do u need a large zoom or would you prefer a smaller camera?

Will you be doing any macro photography or will you be enlarging your shots?

Mostly club work, not really going for a compact approach, Not too big either..

Wont be enlarging the pics either

Id go an canon Ixus50, click here text trev and get him to give u a price, should be really good value.

Alot of ppl buy high spec'd stuff but never need what the item actually does so dont buy features/specs you dont need.

The only difference between this and the Ixus55 is 1/2inch bigger lcd screen (which uses more battery anyway) and more advanced macro ability, which u probably wont need. The Ixus 55 is also about $120 more btw.

id agree with recommending an ixus, a friend has one and it's AMAZING.. and soooo small. it's like credit card size but thicker. and EXCELLENT quality
http://www.canon.com.au/products/ca...italixus50.html

although im gonna get a powershot, it's a bit bigger, still pretty small though.. i guess take a look and see for yourself
http://www.canon.com.au/products/ca...ershota610.html
retails around $400... could get the a620, higher MP for a bit more since you're wanting to spend more anyways
+blow another $100 (havent checked retail but prolly something like that) on nimh batteries+charger
+blow another $100-200 on 1gb/2gb sd card...

Whats the highest storage a memory card can hold & how much is it roughly? And are there any better quality memory cards you can get compared to others....? Or are they all the same.

There is a 15GB memory card on the market at the moment for a cool $1k which is insane.

You can generally buy a decent memory card for $50 to $100 and that will store depending on the brand and the quality you want around 256MB to 516MB.
