Maggie,

Thanks for pointing out my missing info on image stabilization. My Canon SD800is has image stabilization, that is what the is means. I almost forget I have it. If you look for a camera with image stabilization make sure it is part of the camera and not just the software.

I’ve loved digital cameras since the first Mavica was on the market and now have a Sony DSC-M2 which is 6.0 MP and 12x Optical. One of the things you don’t mention is image stabilization.

Prior to the Sony, I had a Kodak Z750 which took awesome photos as long as you were perfectly still as it didn’t have image stabilization. I only had it about a month before I decided it was just too hard to take the kinds of photos I wanted to with it (action shots of my dogs running and of birds)

A DSLR is out of my budget, but is what I have my eye on as the next upgrade.

Thanks Chica. I love digital and have been using it since 1996 when I had a Kodak DC220.

As much as I love standard film camera’s and Polaroid camera’s; I really love digital as well. I currently have a Fuji Finepix S700 and I like it a lot. For Christmas I am getting a Pentax K100D or the K110D, not sure which. I am excited about the SLR aspect of it, I have heard many great things. Boy, I am rambling.. hehe Great post today.
