buying a digital camera soon
Tailgunner:
Best place to start is http://www.dpreview.com/.
I'm on my 4th digital camera. My first two were Kodak, my last two have been Canon.
I'd personally hold out for either a Canon Powershot or a Nikon Coolpix.
JoyMonkey:
Are there any new digital cameras that take CompactFlash cards? I wouldn't mind getting a second camera but I don't want to have to buy different memory for it. I've got a Minolta Dimage 414, which takes amazing photos but compared to newer cameras it's huge and batteries don't last as long as I'd like.

Yep, you'll be happy with a Canon Powershot. I have a G2 and I love it.
JoyMonkey:
Looks great (uses CF too). But if you're after a smaller camera the PowerShot S410 is the same camera in a teenier package ($280 shipped with no extras).
