Snap-happy -- 5 dandy digitals for paparazzi parents

WIDESREEN WONDER
Canon DC50, $799 The DC50 camcorder records direct to 3-inch DVDs, making it quick and easy to navigate your footage during playback. You'll marvel at the high-resolution wide-screen capability. And the sound is top-notch, with Dolby Digital Stereo to capture baby's gurgles and goos. As a bonus, it doubles as a 5-megapixel digital camera.

MINI MOVIEMAKER
Mustek DV12M, $129 With a price as small as its size, this camcorder fits easily into a diaper bag or purse. No tapes are required--it records onto reusuable memory cards and uploads footage to your computer via a USB cable. The DV12M also captures 12-megapixel still shots and even plays MP3s.

BLING BLING, SHOOT SHOOT
Kodak EasyShare V803 $200 This affordably priced, 8-megapixel camera offers a 2.5-inch display, a Favorites feature that lets you store treasured shots so you can locate them instantly, and a Share button that simplifies e-mailing and printing. And it comes in either cheerful colors--sure to make your baby smile.

LOOK, MA, NO BUTTONS
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2, $399 This camera lacks the tiny, frustrating buttons so commmon to digitals--almost all functions are performed via intuitive menus on its oversized 3-inch LCD touchscreen. Able to capture high-quality images without a flash, the DSC-N2 is ideal for hospital nurseries and NICUs.

THE LITTLE SLR THAT COULD
Nikon D40 $599 Digital SLRs reign supreme when it comes to image quality and flexibility, but they can be bulky, complicated and expensive. Derived from Nikon's pro-level D-series, this baby's image-processing technology is bundled in a compact, competitively priced package that still offers both fully automatic and manual controls. It comes with an 18 mm to 55 mm zoom lens and works with Nikon's high-quality lenses.
