What camera you use to take photos on your trips

What would say about a discussion on digital cameras? Well over the last 5 years I have gone through my fair share of digital cameras - Konika, HP, (used a Canon for a while), and now my current one — a Samsung Digimax L85

some examples         the camera =>  

(The examples above are actually in a reduced resolution — I still have to think about storage space on my server space….so I did not upload the 8M pixel images)

I know this might sound weird — almost as an advertisement about a product, but the reality is that I truly like the camera and have used it non-stop since I bought it in Seoul in May of 2006.  I did get a very good deal (including extra secure digital Flash card, carrying case, HDMI cable, etc).  Yes, HDMI cable — it is important to note that the HDMI cable makes it very convinient to use the camera connected directly to a HDTV.

I have used the camera for both still image photography as well as for taking MPEG-4 video footage.  It is great — you can then play it directly (via the HDMI cable) on HDTV.
