I'm thinking of buying a digital camera, a quick google search didn't give me any better idea of what to get, as a matter of fact the amount of choices I seemed to have was stunning and thoroughly confusing...

Anyway, I'll be using it a lot during the vacation, as will my family. So I'd say it should be quite small, or better said not that heavy and easy to carry around. Needless to say I would like to be able to shoot some good quality photo's, and record some good quality videos too, am I correct in assuming most cameras today are able to do both ?

Another thing which is important is that it should be easy to put the photo's and vids. on my computer or even to play the video's on our tv. How, by the way, can I do that ?

Now I haven't picked a particular brand, or anything like that, so I''m open to all suggestions.

Also, I haven't set myself a price limit (simply because I don't know what an appropriate price is..) although keeping in mind I won't be wanting to take super good quality pics. of supermodels any camera that exceeds the 700 euro's is probably too good for me anyway.

Also, if you happen to have a digital camera yourself, which one do you have?

So if anyone could be of help, I'd appreciate it a lot !
