What's a good digital camera for skiing?
Something small enough to keep with me, durrable, and good quality.

Canon's seem pretty small and durable, though i don't have one it's what i wanted to get. They're all SS on the outside, so they look pretty sweet as far as cameras go too. Check'em out

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.' I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass.

picture quality and budget are really what comes to mind when deciding on a digi camera. If you are only snapping pics of people jibbing than you should only need somewhere around 2 mp, beyond that it gets expensive as the quality goes up.

depends on ur price range. I have a canon powershot s30, 3.2 megapixel and its awesome. if u have tons of money to spend get a digital slr, but something around 3 megapixels is fine. after that u cant really tell the difference unless ur really serious about photography.

I had the same question about a year ago. I ended up getting the MInolta X20 for it's cheap price. It's been working perfect for me. Pocket size

Don't do what this guy said about Digital SLRs. They don't make your photos any better unless you actually know how to use it.

I can recommend Canon A-Series cameras though (A80, A75, A90 etc). I used an A70 all last year.

A70 pics:







Also, include the cost of 4 AA rechargeable batteries (get high-capacity NimH batteries, mine would last me 6 hours between charges) and a high-speed charger. Total cost $60 Canadian for the battery stuff. If you got an A80, 128mb card and good batteries you'd have a sweet setup.

picking up the A75 for 150 bucks in a few minutes.
i bizrate.com'd it, then go to circuit city, and they price match with 10% of differnece on top of match. cheapest on bizrate.com is 147
good luck
