6MP Camera

That's interesting, but just remember that megapixels aren't everything. Personally I would go for a 3 megapixel camera from one of the better known companies before taking a chance on an unknown. The camera's optics, mechanics and electronics are all just as important as CCD pixel count. I have a 5 megapixel Nikon which I like, but I used a 3 megapixel Nikon before that and those images still look quite good to me.
The thing which I find troublesome in that review is the delay of several seconds between pressing the button and taking the picture. That could be really frustrating.

Looks nice but I think the fact that it is slow is a drawback.
I was very happy with my 4 meg camera as far as image detail goes. I had a 16x20 photo printed a while back and was very happy with it. My problem with my old camera was zoom. It had 4x optical zoom which is ok if you are using a tripod but the shots were blurry if you hand held the camera.
My new camera (Panasonic DMC-FZ20) has 12x optical zoom and image stabilization. That is the key, stabilization. I can get very nice full zoom shots hand holding the camera. The shot of the fox I posted yesterday was full zoom and hand held. I haven't tried it on a tripod yet but just imagine the sharpness it will achieve.
Also, as a bonus, this camera is VERY fast. It boots up fast, focuses fast and records fast. The only down side is that it sucked the money out of my pocket fast.

I will. I have a big problem with camera shake. How is your camera in low light situations?
If you saw my Harrisville photos from last night you'd see that mine sucks without a tripod.

Low light is tough on digital cameras. Mine doesn't do too bad but the anti-shake doesn't work that well under low light.
