I guess I'm getting to the point of needing a camera for general use(vacations, family gatherings, etc.) so I don't have to take the equipment I use for pro use. I'm looking for a small to medium size unit with zoom, optical and digital focusing, and enough megapixels to render decent prints should I want to do something with the occasional good image I might shoot. I would like the ability to at least get a good 8x10 print, if needed. There are a multitude of choices out there and the more I look, the more confusing it gets. What are some of you using for casual shooting.
A weird choice would be the new Nikon D40, at least if you already have Nikon lenses. Otherwise, check out the Canon line, and the Fuji F30 (best low-light P&S); something there will meet your needs. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
