Just Wondering

Can anyone recommend a good digital camera? I think I'd actually take pictures if I didn't have to fool around with actual film. I don't have a camera anyway so I might as well get one I'll actually use.

I'm looking for something that will store a lot of pictures and has a storage medium that can be easily plugged into a USB port. If it's cheap but not a total piece of crap, that's a bonus too.

Any suggestions?

Thanks. Do you know if I can get that from a Radio Shack or a Target? Because I'd like to be able to pick it up soon.

Also, while I have your attention, what's a good brand of earphones? I know you're particularly attached to the ones you have. I'm not doing so well with the iPod earbuds.

Literally attached, actually. *grin*

Hahahaah, very funny, scifantasy =P

I have two pairs of headphones at the moment - one for at-work/running/anywhere I need to hear things around me besides my music, and one for when I want the world to go away.

My selection for the former category is the Koss KSC-75, available at some Circuit City stores for $20. Not the gold standard in sound quality, but for $20 it's damn good. And the slightly overboosted bass makes it a fun pair of 'phones. =)

My other pair is the AKG K271 Studio, check out 8th Street Music at 10th and Arch. (Yes, I know, the store is mis-named.) Blocks out 20+ dB of sound, in addition to being incredibly good for classical and jazz music. They're a bit expensive though, at about $150 - $180 depending on the store. But you know, speaker rigs that sound that good cost 10-15x as much...

Oh, and I forgot to mention - avoid Koss headphones other than the KSC-75, or the PortaPro if you're looking for a pair with an actual headband. Other good choices are the AKG K26P for $40, or the Sennheiser HD-201 (as long as you're not planning on taking them outside) for less than $30.

Target should have the Nikon line...I think.
