My in-laws have asked me for buying advice regarding 5 megapixel compact cameras. Unfortunately other than very occasionally downloading images from a Minolta Dimage X at work (someone else takes the photos), I have next to no experience with them. A bit of googling turned up quite a lot of reviews of individual cameras, but the most recent multiple camera comparison I found was from June 2003. Not so useful. Write-ups of something called the 2004 DIMA Digital Camera Shootout were mildly useful but lacked comparisons. Luckily I noticed in NetNewsWire today that Janet Tokerud over at Tech Ronin had written up a short comparison. Just what I was looking for! A review by a regular user who's opinion I feel I can trust.
