I agree with Hogleg44/40:
If you can get a Sony 707 or 717 for a nice price, go for it.
And concerning your photo printer... Also look for the canon range.
The photosmart printer series are called that way because the printer has a
build-in flashcard reader. IMHO not realy something to go for, unless you
realy realy want to be able to print phot's right from your Camera. If you
can live with printing through your PC, you realy should take a look at the
canon range. Especialy if you are going to print a lot. 4 seperate int
cardridges will be quite cost-effective if you print fulll-color. The Canon
i560 is my personal favorite, but others will also do the same job. The
Canon i560 is about 140 Euro's (So you could pend the extra cash to the
camera, media or aditional battery)
