It seems amazing to me that camera prices have fallen so rapidly yet the cameras are capable of so much more. I am headed on vacation this week and decided to get a new point and shoot camera. Shockingly the same Panasonic Lumix camera I paid for 2 years ago costs 70% less and actually has more features. In the small I got an inexpensive 8MegaPixel camera but in the large I am wondering about the overall market effect of commodity low cost high capacity digital devices. I think we are seeing the arrival of the real digital era where everyone is transferring high quality images using very low cost devices. Add a 2GB memory card to this for $24 and I have a really great camera setup for under $200, scary.The digital tidal wave is arriving.
It is also cool to think that these same cameras might one day be programatic and run Flash via the Open Screen Project. Fun Fun!
And now PhotoShop Express allows you to edit your Flickr images.
cheers,
Ted :)

Reads like Ted is really enjoying that vacation, eh?
You forgot to mention Eye-Fi!
"They’re building wifi directly into the flash storage. Their first product will be a 1GB SD card with built in Wifi. For about the same price as a 1 GB flash card sells for today - $100. You’ll be able to upload photos, or whatever, directly from your device to a computer using the built in storage wifi capabilities." From Techcrunch:

=D
did you buy another Lumix Ted? Which model?
thanks..
Not to advertise for CircuitCity (http://www.circuitcity.com/), but they have a Lumix for $129 + free 2gb memory card. Possible to return/exchange yours? Sometimes the stores have a price guarantee, and you can just get money back. . .
