Does anyone have any advice on this camera or other Epson products? I am a designer and photographer that finally has went digital. I just want something that will grow with me, i.e.; extra lens capability, extra flash, etc.

Any advice is very appreciated on digital cameras period. My spending range is $500-$1000.

Run (don't walk) over to www.dpreview.com or www.stevesdigicams.com for some great pro reviews on this and other cameras. Actually, this cam was on my list too, but I am now trying to choose between the Olympus 3030Z and the Canon PowerShot G1.

I highly recommend these two sites, with the edge to dpreview because you can do side-by-side comparisons of the cameras you choos.

Oh yeah, why did I chose against the Epson? I read some review where picture quality wasn't that good. Also, I like the IBM Microdrive, so I'm leaning towards the PowerShot. All of these cameras are about the same price--and are all great cams from what I've read. If quality was my sole qualifier, I'd buy the Olyumpus.

Good luck.
