No kidding. If you're tired of that one, you're going to have to go big (read: DSLR) if you want to upgrade - and then you lose any size advantage and will have to revert back to your old point and shoot when you don't want to lug equipment around.

It'* got image stabilization and a hot shoe for flash 'fer cryin out loud!

oh btw...

Thats about it. It'* having a bit of problems focusing lately too.

I just bought a Panasonic DMC-FZ7. Due to it being almost winter I haven't taken any car pics yet.

Grimm, that'* a really sweet picture considering the shutter speed and the fact that you were using the flash.

I'm going to have to try that sometime...

I have one of these old school babies, was my grandfather'* so it'* kind of speacial to me


We had a cheapo 4 MP no name digital camera from walmart ( yeah, that'* why most of the pics of my car have been kinda dark and crappy) that crapped out after a year.

Now for a digital we just picked another cheap job, but it has 7MP and at least now I can get audio with my videos, it'* a Pentax Optio M20.

Thanks. I'm new to all the manual stuff, so that was when I was messing around one night. I don't remember why I had the shutter speed that slow, but it came out good I thought for a newb. I almost got an S3 myself, but I just couldn't pass up the $100 savings of the FZ7, and from what I've taken the noise isn't going to be an issue to me.

Canon is always a good choice.

Here'* mine:



Low(er)-end D-SLR compared to many, but it does everything I need it to do. I have some good lenses to make up for it.

Pentax K1000... amazing! I used one in photography class in high school - they're just about the most popular student/school camera. Robust, sharp, great to learn with.

I might be getting my hands on an older manual focus Minolta X-700 in the near future from ym uncle... I can't wait.

Best I can do for now. LOL
