The Olympus Stylus Touch-6000 is a digital camera that fits in your pocket and takes a beating. If you want to take photographs outdoors, this camera is a good choice. It is waterproof and shockproof. It will take those snow shots in bright sunlight as well as photos in the pool or underwater . Check out my review.

If you have a video camera, there will come a time when you would like to grab a frame from the video to use as a picture. While this can be a complicated endeavor, this program makes it easy.... and it is free.

The Panasonic G1 is a different type of camera. It looks like a digital SLR, but it is smaller. It has a new Micro Four Thirds system of swappable lenses. It takes great pictures, but it is not for everyone.
