Digital Camera - what to buy?

As far as I know there is no advantage to either as far as image quality goes. CMOS is cheaper to make. I'm not sure if there are other benefits.

I'll Google a little more - because if cost was the only factor, surely compacts that are cost sensitive would only use CMOS?

I read somewhere (could be wrong) that CMOS are noisier

Like I said, as far as I know that's the main difference. There may well be more.

Ok .. chill ... it's still festive season.

I'll check - not to try prove anything, simply to learn myself

Check out my Olympus E-PL1 which I am selling, amazing compact camera in the classifieds. Price is negotiable. (Shameless plug, I know!)

Hmmm... I'm in a spot of bother. I only have around R2k to buy a digital camera and I'm still not sure what to get

More than just happy snaps. It's for someone with a more of a serious photographic interest. I'm pretty much thinking about the Canon Powershot SX 130 IS that's going for around R2k.

It's a gift for someone, so it can't be second hand

I think that SX 130 IS is a solid buy.
