When you choose a Digital Camera, apart from megapixel, plz check the type of memory card it uses. Since one may need to keep buying more memory cards, one may choose cameras which use SD card instead of cameras using Memory Stick [Sony] & XD card [Olympus & Fuji]. This is becuase Sd cards tend to be much cheaper and many brands.

Comment on After digital transition, will standard analog cable will work the same? by jjki_11738

You don’t have to do anything.
The cable companies are under federal orders to continue broadcasting the local Over The Air TV in analog until at least 2012. The FCC will be reviewing their order when 2012 approaches, and might extend the date further. The cable companies do have the option of providing converter boxes instead of the analog transmissions. What they will do regarding their other existing analog TV is up to them. I expect that they will convert some or all to digital as time goes by. If you are not satisfied with their analog offerings, you will have to rent a digital cable box from the cable company.
If you do buy a digital TV, then you should buy one with a QAM tuner, in addition to the usual ATSC and NTSC tuners. With these, you can receive digital TV, via antenna, and analog and digital TV via cable (excluding encrypted channels), without a cable box.

When looking for camera, pixels are not as important as other features you should look for. You first need to know what you want:

4X6 pic, 8X10 pic or bigger pictures.

Generally most people does 8X10 max. And for that 4MP does as good as a job as would 8MP do. So, don;t waste your money just because something has high pixels.

Then comes quality:
Are you a camera Whiz? if not, you should look for more automatic settings instead of manual settings. ( does it allow automatic night time adjustment etc etc)

Based on above parameters you should pick a camera. Generally for 180 bucks you get a good camera. I personally prefer HP, Sony and canon ( in the same priority)..

Comment on After digital transition, will standard analog cable will work the same? by Stephen P

Probably no, but only your cable companies knows.

While over the air broadcasters have lots of rules they have to follow, cable companies have a lot more latitude in how they handle the switch to digital TV.

The 2/17/09 date only applies to over the air broadcasts. There is no technical reason that cable companies can’t convert digital signals to analog at a central location and leave things just the way they are. But they have a strong economic reason to change their systems to all digital and make customers with analog service use a cable box.

Buying a DTV doesn’t carry a guaranty that you will not need a cable box! Digital cable TV systems do not use the same signals/tuners as over the air broadcasts. Some, but not all, cable systems use something called "open QAM" to send out basic cable. If this is how your cable company is going to do it, you are in luck. Most DTVs have a QAM tuner built in. You can also buy QAM tuner boxes or DVD recorders with a QAM tuner built in.
