Well, a couple weeks ago we found ourselves in the market for a new camera. We just bought a nice Nikon coolpix with plenty enough mega-pixels just a year ago. Please don't ask why we were already in the market for a new one. Okay... since you asked... The lovely and talented Mrs. Slipkid defied all odds and forces of nature and found a way to deep soak the camera in her cup of Pepsi. Can we move on?? There is a ton of camera geek speak I don't understand but if your in the market, check out something like this.... Sony DSC-H50  It's a low end SLR. Not that much more money than a high end mini-slim model. It makes all the difference in the world. | ||

The camera MUST have a flash shoe on top for an external flash 2. You keep enough $ in the budget to buy the flash that will be attached to above mentioned shoe FWIW, I've always found Sony colors (Especially with the Zeiss lenses) to be a bit over saturated, especially the reds (A very bad thing with red blanket pics). Also, megapixels really mean squat unless your doing poster sized print photography. I'll sacrifice some megapixels for a good zoom any day. Many people don't believe it, but I do not own a true SLR. My 5700 has a fixed lens (with a flash shoe on top), though there are attachments for wide angle and extra zoom (telephoto) Don't get sucked into the megapixel BS, and also, get something with a robust manual mode. Here's what I use...  In contrast, here's dad with his portable setup, a medium format Mamiya with a 2 flash setup. Now here's the real stuff!  | ||
