I disagree. There are plenty of other lists for digicams--I'm on a Yahoo
group for the Minolta DiMage 7, since that's what I use. Indeed, this list
isn't even really for flatbed scanners, although they're sometimes
discussed.

Iit's quite natural and acceptable for digicams to be discussed here when
the topic is comparison to scanned film. But this list would become less
useful if it were cluttered with discussion of digicams with no relation to
film scanners.
