[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 509986, member: 25383"] here's a story for you. Most folks are not as good as they camera they are using (me too). My first digital camera was a small point and shoot Fuji that was rated at 4.0 MgPx. I shot several thousand pictures with it over the years till somebody stole it. I then started climbing the ladder into bigger and better things. On a trip out west with my then girl friend she sees an ad from Sony with a photo that is identical to one I gave her! We go back to the hotel and pull it up on the PC, and there it was! Exactly the same in their new DSLR ad. I sent them an email about it, and told them you could buy five of their DSLR's for the price of the camera that shot the picture! And that it was a 3.2 meg photo to boot! The photo was strait Jpeg, and shot directly into the setting sun. You just don't have to have a 20 meg anything to shoot good pictures! Ten meg will do 98% of us well. One camera that captures my thoughts these days is the new Olympus PenF2. It's not a DSLR, but a point and shoot. But a very high quality one. I wish it were a range finder camera, but they chose not to. The size of the thing makes it very handy, and you can buy one for about $600 (they even have interchangable lenses). The only thing I've seen better for a camera in that class was a prototype Lieca that was a true range finder camera at four times the projected price tag. These cameras are small enough to put in your coat pocket, but are not toys. gary [/QUOTE]
