Hope that helps.

I'm actually considering a pocket size backup one for the same reasons you mention....more versatile than lugging a large camera and lenses around. I'd go for one that offers the widest range....wide angle to telephoto all in one.

I am tempted to try one of these big honkin digital SLRs just to see what I could do with it...but they are SO big. I'd hate to spend that kind of money only to end up using the little cam 90% of the time. LOL I'd really love to have the ability to use some serious lenses tho. One of those HUGE zoom lenses. That would be so fun. I could indulge my paparazzi fantasies.

Not only does it look cool, but I would rather have the 10X zoom (as long as it is optical zoom only... digital zoom BAA!) over the extra megapixels. 6 megapixels is plenty unless you plan to do poster shots. I actually almost bought the 6 megapixel Rebel, but the difference in price for the 8 wasn't that much, so I thought, 'What the heck!' Like I told you in the e-mail, I LOVE the Canon and it is great for planned 'photo' trips, but it's too big for just grabbing and going. I plan to replace my little Sony at some point because it's only 2.1 megapixels, but I will ALWAYS have a small 'knockabout' camera.<br><br>Keep us posted. I look forward to hearing which one you end up with!<br>http://journals.aol.com/astaryth/AdventuresofanEclecticMindAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330571549131412240.post-58207645068581343122005-11-09T22:55:00.000-05:002005-11-09T22:55:00.000-05:00Umm...what?!?That totally confused me.

Unless of course, you're planning on printing poster sized pics in the future. ;)<br><br>Personally, I find my camera (the newer version) to pack a powerful punch. Canon Digital Elph SD### (there's a 5+ mp version). It's small, can take a beating and it's always on hand. If I had the newer one, I'm sure I would've gottan a nice shot of Jason Mraz's eyes from the nose-bleed seats.
