Looking for a digital camera. Mainly for posting things on the Net (ebay, here, etc.) Not really making any large prints of photos. One catch, though. It has to be from Best Buy. Any suggestions?

I just got a Fuji A210 for Christmas from MY LADY. The camera is very nice. The pics are just great in lighted situations. It's perfect for your stated uses.
I was very pleased with the pics and setting choices. Settings are very easy to change.
You will not be dissapointed with this choice.
Rechargeable batts (2aa) are a must as it chews them up quickly.
Screen is bright and downloading from the camera via the usb cable is a snap.
Photo software is ok but I used stuff I already have on my puter.
The 16 meg XD card is mediocre because it doesn't hold much. About 18 pics on highest resolution which is mightily impressive. The resolution I mean.
I bought a 64 meg xd to supplement it.
I always use the highest resolution and then scale the pic down while retaining the higher clarity.
3x optical zoom and macro capabilities. They both perform well and are easy to use. The self timer was also very easy to use.
Much easier to set than the Canon.

I use a Canon A80 at work and I wanted the same camera for me. So I only have to learn one set of settings.
I Never used the 64 meg xd card tho cause I returned the camera to get a Canon A80.
If you get the A210 give me a shout if you find yourself in need of a 64 meg card /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Just got a Fuji s3000 from Tigerdirect.com today. Nice camera and a pretty good price. I've found it a little cheaper other places, but I bought some other stuff and had them throw it in. Like it alot.

When I was searching out cams I looked at the A310 and If I remember correctly the 310 has the newest chip from Fuji that "supposedly" increases the useful pixel resolution due to a change in pixel shape. Theoretically, from Fuji, it gives a better resolution matching a 5 or 6 mp camera. Maybe I'm exaggerating But the essence is there. I haven't seen anyone mention it in a review tho.
I have no experience hands on with the 310. It is slightly smaller than the 210
210 = 3.9x2.6x2.1 inch 7.9 oz
310 = 3.8x2.5x1.3 inch 6.7 oz

A consideration is the way it fits your hand. I thought the 310 would be slightly small for my mitts.
