Steve was right, you are getting cranky in your old age. :lol:

I agree (which is why I bought one the other day).. but it sounds like the poster might want something simpler.

This looks very nice:

I would have to ask if the OP wants a very compact camera or doesn't mind the bulk of a one with a better lens like the G10/G11 or the Panasonic unit.

This is what I use. It's a nice entry level SLR camera. I'm very happy with it and it's easy to use. I would never buy another camera that wasn't an SLR...unless I knew I was shopping for a small point-and-shoot pocket type camera...which I have one of those as well and possibly use it more than the Canon. But the Canon is used when I am looking for a better final product or during action shots (SLR)!

For point-and-shoot cameras I shop for the most optical zoom you can find as well as megapixels. Lots of good choices out there!!

That's why Canon went from 14.1 mp on the G10 to 10mp on the G11.

I don't think the OP wants a DSLR.. since they are less useful if you're not buying a bunch of gear (ie, lenses).

Steve's right, megapixels are just a gimmick... especially for SLR's.

CCD are great sensors... CMOS is just the bees knees though... looking at one right now... (D700) Now... where to get the cash. :lol:

Took these with my CCD sensor just yesterday :)

Steve, Do you have any suggestions on a fisheye, wide angle lens for a canon SLR.

thanks,
Jack

Well, do you want a fisheye or a ultra wide angle (zoom)?

I have a 10-24 Canon lens I love.. but I would go for this Tokina

The company made me go Canon, but this lens is better and less money (shop around). The F 2.8 rocks.

If you want a fisheye lens then look at:
