14 megapixels on a 1/1.7" camera sensor is a complete waste (look up diffraction limit), no matter how good the optics are. The extra megapixels won't make your photos any sharper.

How much are you looking to spend?

I just got the M575 last week from QVC for $180 here is the thread.....I like the picture Quality its the best for the price in a non SLR

200 bux is the budget... so if its a complete waste what else is out there that is better?

The 580 is also the same as my 575 just a zoom difference..

Save up some money and buy a used or older model dslr if you're trying to take great photos. You can find dslr's now for virtually any budget.

If you just want ok pictures for family/friends/whatever then get a pns. I just bought a nikon d5000 for a steal and I can't wait to play with it.

I'll get some more tomorrow....SLR cameras are nice but then you will wanna invest in lenses and it will be well over $200 for camera and good lense

You can get a nice used Pentax K100D dslr kit with lens for under $250 if you look, which is a 6mp, but unless youre going to be doing a lot of cropping it will be fine. I recently picked up a Pentax K2000 on craigslist with the kit lens box and all for $240 which is a 10mp dslr. I picked up both my old k100d, and the k2000 with around 3k actuations on em each, and havent had a problem with either. Have about 20k actuations on the k100 that I gave my mother, and about 13k on the k2000 that I shoot with now. Btw if youre interested just search Flickr.com and you can find many many many pictures takens with k100ds, k200ds, k2000s, etc.
