Buying a Digital Camera

1. I already have two digital cameras. A Pentax K100D and a Mju Tough 8010 (olympus). I use the Pentax and Olympus for professional shots and i also own a Flickr and Tumblr account. Which i sometimes share photos using these websites. The Olympus camera is waterproof so i can take underwater shots.
I want a camera that takes high quality pictures and are easy to use.

2.The website doesnt tell you what resolution to look for...

3. The link doesnt work...

4. Instead of finding two digital cameras, i have decided to comparing film and digital cameras.
In my opinion film has a better look once developed. Film is more expensive, you need to buy the film for the camera costing around $10 for 36 exposures, 35 mm. Developing it costs around $10 for one roll.

Example of a Film Camera
Digital there is an unlimited amount of shots depending on how big your memory card it, but for 4 gb memory card you can take around 300 shots. Also the developing is much cheaper, you can print these photos for are 15 cents each. Also digital cameras allow you to view the photos on the computer, making it easier to edit it using PhotoShop etc. 

Digital cameras are excellent in every way, but i prefer film because of the quality once developed. Some people may say that film takes "crap" photots because it looks grainy or un-clear, but thats the effect that i like.

5. A card reader is a device used to quickly transfer photos/videos from your camera, instead of plugging in you camera into your computer using cords. Card readers make it easier, putting the card into your USB hole.
