[QUOTE="mhdick, post: 834120, member: 21347"] If you are fairly new to digital cameras, don't get a DSLR (T3i, etc). THey do take a little getting used to. And, you might want enough lenses to cover a wide range of zoom that would break the bank, and take up all your luggage space. I'd go for a super zoom type. Panorama's can be made from a series of photos from ANY digital camera on photoshop, etc (see below) [URL="http://s957.photobucket.com/user/mhdick/media/for%20sale%202011/MillerRanch2web_zps925a8ba2.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae56/mhdick/for%20sale%202011/MillerRanch2web_zps925a8ba2.jpg[/IMG][/URL] taken with Canon 60d (DSLR) and 18-135 zoom lens on probably 20mm. THis was taken with a 150-500 Sigma lens I'm borrowing from a friend: [URL="http://s957.photobucket.com/user/mhdick/media/for%20sale%202011/IMG_6677aa_zps166775a3.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae56/mhdick/for%20sale%202011/IMG_6677aa_zps166775a3.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Overall my picture quality is likely better than if I had a super zoom, but for travel they cannot be beat!
