Digital Camera thoughts???
With my income tax refund, I'm hoping to purchase a digital camera. First, just let me tell you that I know absolutely nothing about them. I searched Pet Talk to find all the threads and it seems that most of you are happy with either Sony or Canon.
Two days ago I signed up for ebay and have since been checking out the "goods" and now I'm more confused as ever.
I will not:
be taking many action shots
be printing off the photos myself
be using them for making siggies (I'll leave that for the experts)
I want:
the largest lcd screen that I can get
viewfinder
Lots of zoom
a way of recharging the batteries
ability to take movies with sound
pictures clear enough to post on PT
I also spotted a comment in one of the threads a couple of years ago where Debbie (T&P) was saying that she spoke to an expert and apparently 2.0 mp is all the average person needs.
Some friends of mine have an Olympus and I found it rather user-friendly, took good pictures, but I found it hard to see with the small lcd screen. It has a way of taking the battery pack out and recharging it. That's the feature I liked the most.
I have been comparison shopping for the last year and I really don't like those little teeny tiny ones. I really like the feel of the Canon Powershot with that right-hand grip. It's just the right size for my hands.
Anyway, just thought I would get everyone's feedback. Thanks for your advice.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
