I do not recommend the Pentax Optio S50. I have that one and the flash is not adjustable enough for good photos of 1970 Raleigh Grand Prix (on-topic) :). They get all washed out. It takes great pictures outdoors though. Hope this helps

What digital cameras would the experts recommend for bike photos? I don't care much about printing photos, mostly interested in sharing photos with list members by posting in an album or emailing.

You almost need to be outdoors on a sunny day. I've looked a bit at better digital cameras, but none seem t o have the equivalent of a flash. How do better digital camers deal with i ndoor light?
