    Not very familiar with the size of that screen, but a suggestion when buying a digital camera - get one that has a viewfinder along witht he preview screen - yes like the old fim cameras.

    We think that we now have to take pictures by looking at a small screen because we can. I have a Cannon 12X zoom digital camera and lately have been using the viewfinder instead of the screen and find I can frame and see my shots much better - especially in bright sunlight. Also you save on the battery by using the viewfinder instead of the screen.

    Canon has just started selling their new Rebel XTsi which has a bigger screen LIVE VIEW as well as the regular optical thru-the lens view. You might wish to go to dpreview.com which gives extensive reviews of all sorts of digital cameras.
