Sometime ago there was a thread started about digital cameras.  I
have found two extensive reviews of digital cameras since than and
am passing them along.  The most recent is at CNET, a computer web
magazine.  The review of 8 low-end cameras can be found at

Older and more difficult to obtain, is a past issue of Imaging
Magazine with very good side-by-side comparisons of images made from
digital cameras in one article, and slide scanners in another
article:

    Imaging Magazine, April 1997, Vol. 6, No 4,
    "Digital Cameras Invade Imaging", pp 54-82;
    "The Search for the Perfect Scanner", pp 92-104.
