If you guys want to get lost in the world of digital photography, the place to go is www.dpreview.com. They have probably the most epic review site I've ever seen. Anything you want to know is probably in the forums and they have tons of general info about digital photography. Most helpful.

If you want to comparison shop on prices, check out www.bhphotovideo.com. They have a great selection and very good pricing. I just bought a nifty waterproof case from them (Pelican makes all sizes for decent prices like $15-$40 depending on the size if you're interested, just search for Pelican on the site).
