buying a camera hi, I have a elph aps camera. It is ok, but I want to move on to the next level in photography. I am a amaetur photographerr who shoots only when on vacation. I went and checked out some digital cameras. But I find it very difficult to justify spending around 500-600 dollars for the resulting output. At the same time I was wondering whether digital is the way to go? thanks

You may get many answers to this one, but I think you should really decide how you want to display your photos. I went through the same decision recently. As much as I loved playing with a digital, I borrowed, our family still loves to put together photo albums and give friends photos. Sooo, if you are more into family photo albums than displaying your photos on the web, I would stick with an SLR. AND, as far as model(Canon Rebel 2000, Nikon N65/N55, Minolta Maxxum 5, Pentax ZX-30/50/60{new}) you can't go wrong with any of those in the $300-400 range. They all have manual settings and the features you would need to "learn" photography. You can find them for under $300 at Adorama.com or bhphotovideo.com. Don't be afraid to order online. Good luck!

I like the Canon G2 it's my 1st Camera and I'm very satisfied with the photographic output at 4mp. It's advertised for the semi-professional or advanced beginner. It's has tons of settings which will allow control of your photo's as you advance. It also takes awesome photo's in automatic mode. You can see some examples of the G2 photographic output on this site. I think DAN Hutchinson uses one and several other former contest winners. DAN has a member gallery site here if you want to check it out.

I forgot to add that the Canon G2 is a 4.0 Mega Pixel digital camera. If your into taking action shots there is a bit of a delay with digital camera's when they write the image on the compact flash card. So it will be slightly harder to take action shot's. The canon G2 retails currently for $799.00. You also can see a full array of photo's that the G2 has taken at www.dpreview.com you can also see a full review of the G2 camera and other camera's at that site.
