Digital Cameras

So because Prague lends itself to messy, messy nights out, and those nights are often accompanied by a camera, lots of cameras tend to get lost. This year alone claimed two of them and the only digital camera I have left is an old, old, old Olympus with something like 5 or 6 megapixels. Not so good.

I do have a Diana mini from Lomography.com that I got as a present and I love it. So much. I have a matching flash, tons and tons of film and I drag that camera with me everywhere. I also have an old, real, vintage Lomo from Piter (not a lomography.com lomo. It was a present from my dad who owned it back in Russia.) Only catch? I have nowhere to develop film myself when in Prague and either way, developing then scanning there would be a nightmare. Here, any CVS can take care of that so it's easier but there is a point where you want a fairly nice, portable digital camera. Particularly for this blog. So any suggestions as to what anyone else has? Preferably under $400?

I've found:

Cybershot 14.1 Megapixel

(It comes in pink!

This may just be a deal maker. Even though the pink is 12.1 megapixels.)

From Sony Electronics. Can't say I've ever had a Sony camera. My old, dying, I-don't-understand-how-this-is-still-around-and-probably-only-is-because-it-didn't-come-to-Prague-with-me camera is/was an Olympus and my trusty camera that I've kept buying for a few years was a Nikon Coolpix. However, this one is relatively inexpensive, the less nice version (even though it is pink, it has fewer megapixels) is even cheaper AND pink. And honestly I know next to nothing about lower-end digital cameras. My auntie has a couple SLRs that I am desperately in love with but since they retail for probably double the cost of my life, they aren't exactly an option. Anyway, point is: inexpensive, portable, cute. Is that enough?

Now from Nikon:

Coolpix S8000 14.2 Megapixel

And my trusty Coolpix S3000 12.0 Megapixel.

I have had this one in black, in plum, in silver, in god know how many colors and incarnations and megapixel improvements. Only question now is, whether or not it is time to move on, to buy a new and better camera or to go and just get the same one as before (hugely tempting.)

Sooo, what to do? Or do I just say screw it all and stick with all film? Are my Lomo and Diana mini enough or does a blog need a good digital camera to go with it?
