Zen and the art of the consumer digital camera
I will try to be brief. The reviewer who recommended doing your research/homework was absolutely correct. However, do not get too bogged down in the details, as you will only become further frustrated. Digital Photo Review, Megapixel dot c, are good resources. I own too many Canon cameras (according to my wife), but this is because I LOVE CANON, they have yet to disappoint me. I would bet that for everyone that loves Canon there are a few who “love” another brand. Point being; unless there is some HUGE advance forward in technology, the differences are often razor thin (at this level). The Power Shot line up has been solid. I have several different models and use them all. If you want high quality video, buy a decent video Canon SX200IS 12mp. If you want high quality -photographs vs. snapshots, buy a quality DSLR, high quality point and shoot … buy high quality point and shoot. Even the Canon 5D MII (my dream machine) does not pull off -outstanding video-, but the photographic possibilities are off the charts, and that is almost a 3K camera. To each his own, but do not expect your VW bug to out perform a Porche, and you will be fine. This gadget, yes gadget, is more than most will ever use. I spent a few days with it, and never “maxed out”, within reason. ALSO: It has a 12X Optical, Not Digital. “Digital Zoom” is a marketing gimmick, the exact same as “cropping” on a photo suite.
