So far I’ve managed to take more pictures with my little digital Sony point-and-shoot than with my big DSLR. I’m afraid to take the DSLR anywhere if I’d have to leave it in the car ‘cause it might get stolen. The little Sony I can hide easily.
Had a Maxxum 7000 back in the ‘80’s. Don’t know what the ex eventually did with it. Was only a rank amateur, and didn’t want to invest again in a camera and several lenses for a long while. Back around ‘05 got the itch for another, did a lot of studying at various sites and downloaded a lot of samples. I went with a Canon A510 because it was a “low end” model with manual controls that I could grow with, and it’s exceeded expectations.
A couple of months ago I got an SX100 IS, mainly for more zoom, and it’s close enough to an S5 for my needs. The image stabilizer is no gimmick.
Anyway, I’m ready for those boogermen. :)
