DIGITAL CAMERA CARNIVAL? Reader Michael Whitty writes to ask for a new one.

Would love it if you could update:

We’re looking for a good balance of features and ease-of-use, so any comments to help us identify one would be most appreciated.

I still like my Lumix LX-3 a lot, and — together with the Nikon D300 that I just used on a Popular Mechanics assignment — I’ve been so happy that I haven’t been shopping for other cameras for over a year. (If the D300 is too pricey for you — and I can see why it might be — the D5000 gets good reviews, too.)

Consumer Reports likes the Sony DSC-W300, as well as the Canon SD-880. And the Powershot G10 gets good reviews. But I haven’t been shopping myself lately — just too satisfied with what I’ve got.

So, anyway, if you’ve got suggestions email me. Or if you’ve got a post, send a link. Either way, please put “Digital Camera Carnival” in the subject line so I can pull ‘em all together.

UPDATE: Rick Lee sends this link to Ken Rockwell’s recommended cameras.

I should also note that the Kodak Zi8 and the Flip Mino HD are pretty cool in the pocket-videocam segment.
