Suggest a replacement digital camera?

External Since: Jun 22, 2004 Posts: 175

My current camera is Cybershot P150 but it's showing age, the case
creaks a bit, lost 2 screws, and there's sign of dust contamination
inside the lens. After some 3,000 pictures over the last 2 years plus
I don't know how many more previous owner had, I think the camera's a
bit old and worn so I'd like advice on new camera.

I'd prefer to use existing Memory Sticks or CF Microdrives I have. I'd
probably like to use camera that supports microdrive as I have a
couple 6GB and a 12GB and those would last a long time with large
pictures.

5Mpix minimum, has manual setting for ISO, manual focus, manual
exposure setting, and movie as well as stills. Zoom lens 3x or more
is also prefered.
