I second the recommendation for the dpreview web site. :xyxthumbs Besides camera reviews, they have forums, somewhat like this one, for each camera maker. You can learn alot of tips and tricks about photography and cameras/accessories.
This is where is did my research before I bought my Canon G2. Good luck!
Cheers,

Prinz,
I thought you bought a new camera not to long ago. What`s up?

I also like DP Review, but here are a few other useful URLs -
Imaging Resource (http://www.imaging-resource.com/DIGCAM01.HTM)

big fan of any of the Canons. They take compact flash cards, which you can get at Crucial at around $90 for 256 megabytes. On the lowest resolution, that`s 2300 pictures :)

I`m in the market for a digital camera as well. Consumer reports just reviewed them. In the 2 megapixel category, they liked the kodak DX3600 and the Olympus c-2040. In the 3-5 megapixel category, the favorites were the Sony DSC-707, Canon Powershot G2 (? soon to be G3) and the Olympus Camedia C-3040.
I also read a computer magazine and they liked the same Canon as well as the Olympus models noted above. My impression from what I`ve read is that the Canon is probably the best, however, you probably won`t go wrong with one of the Olympus`s.
I scanned E-bay for those models. The Canon`s are pretty pricey, however, there are a lot of great deals on the Olympus`s (nearly 1/2 price).

Purchased my DSC-S85 Sony based on a thorough write-up on
dpreview.com. Great camera - no regrets! :up

I`m on the same page as AMP99 -- the dpreview.com site is great for learning about cameras, deciding on needs versus wants, etc.
I didn`t need the Powershot G2, I just had to have it... one year later, no regrets!
Make sure you get at least 1-128MB card, if not 2. I got my 256MB Kingston card for $100 last XMas.
Have fun searching! :xyxthumbs

smart cards have the openface type scratchable surface. That`s why I went with the cannon over the Olympus. That and the cards are more expensive on the higher end models. I didn`t go with the Fujii (although compared to the S110 I got, it had slightly better color quality) because it felt cheap.
One day I`ll get a CF PDA running WinCE and get a 1GHZ card for it :)

Is there any good digital camera out there that will match
or come close to my M6 Leica?
I like the convience putting the pics right on to my computer.
When I get a good shot I have them enlarged to 11X14 on
cibachrome. Somtimes larger.
