Well since I don't know what a DSLR is I guess a point and shoot would work, and I'm way to busy(dumb) to figure out a complicated camara. Thanks for the input. Telly

This website if very good for doing research...

I would consider Canon, Nikon and Panasonic (Lumix) as the top three companies.

LOL....your first step is to spell it camEra. I have a Panasonic Lumix that works great. You should be able to find a good pocket type camera for under 200.00 these days. It will probably do all you want to do.

I think the Canon G10 or G11 are great options for P&S cameras.

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.

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