Camera questions I currently have a Canon PowerShot Pro 1. In the three years I've had it, I have shot nearly 27,000 images. Is this a lot on average? Also, it is having problems....I cannot zoom at all or I get a completely white screen. What causes this? Is it the CCD going bad? Also, sometimes, it does this without zooming. Also, after a while of taking photos, it will sometimes have lines going across horizontally. I had thought about getting it repaired, but wonder if it will cost so much to repair that it would be better to purchase a new camera. Third, if I replace it, I am considering a Canon Rebel XTi or XT. What is the difference between the two? Which camera would be best if I have a MOVING ALL THE TIME 19 month old toddler? (LOL) I need to be able to capture him moving without blurring. Please email me any advice you have about any of these questions: shutterbug3070@yahoo.com Thank you in advance.

In my humble opinion you've shot way too many pictures. I've shot under 1400 in about 1 1/2 years with my Canon 30D. Of course, I still believe in scoping out my pictures and not relying on taking thousands in the hope of getting one decent shot. It's a carryover from film. The difference between professional grade and amateur equipment is durability - in the words of Timex, "To take a licking and keep on ticking." Your camera isn't a pro model; 27,000 images might be all you can/should expect. The major difference between the Xt and the XTi is the number of megapixels on the chip - I think it's 6 vs 10. This really means nothing as 6 is the real magic number. However, based on the way you shoot, get the XTi or preferably the 40D. And, take time to smell the roses before you take their pictures.
