Although this is an American site (nothing wrong with that simply saying that all the products are quoted in dollars) don't be put off by using this website as it is a fantastic place to get information about digital cameras even if you will need to get an idea of price elsewhere (dependant on your country).  If you don't know your chromatic aberrations from your white balance then you will soon understand after looking at the many reviews and picture galleries of photographs taken using each camera.  Every camera is looked at in depth and there are pictures of each camera from every available angle and explanations of where all the controls are and all the functions available on each camera.  The reviews are very impartial and tell you the good points and bad points and often show picture examples of such points.  If you want a digital camera that is going to last you some time and is going to give you excellent quality pictures it is worth taking your time to read through the reviews on here of any cameras you have shortlisted.  It could just save you from making a very expensive mistake!

You might wonder why I have included a mapping link on here but it is relevant to photography as this site contains aerial images of the whole of the UK photographed during the year 2000.  As the site puts it "A snapshot of the UK in the Millenium".   Type in the postcode of your house or a postcode of somewhere you have stayed on holiday perhaps and a list will appear and you pick out the correct property from the list and a small aerial photo will appear!  The images are very small though, you have been warned!  You will need to use your Magnifier from Windows Accessibility (found in Accessories).  You can also buy aerial photographs which would make great presents for people.  You can see a sample of the quality of such images on the site (they are a lot better than the images they allow you to view).  Although the images to view aren't a great size I still find this site quite addictive at times.
