Looks as thought my trusty Canon SD300 is about to crap out. I am now unable to zoom out after zooming in. Kind of frustrating. Rather than forking over any dough to get it fixed I am interested in upgrading to a new camera. What I would really like is a big ass digital SLR but I don't want to drop that much coin at this point. I'm asking for your thoughts and suggestions to meet the following requirments. At least 5MP As much optical zoom as possible... preferably 10X or 12X Rechargeable battery (Lithium Ion) Long battery life Stores to an SD card Please reply with suggestions and thoughts. I would like to keep this budget minded too. Thanks in advance for your time, Pax

You can buy the same camera Joanne has (the wife) for 450 now ...it is a sony digital slr with 6.1 meg and 12x ...you have used this camera and you know how well it works...I was always amazed at the fact you took such remarkable pictures with such a yeoman like camera...I am afraid if you buy a kickass camera ...I will never see victory again !!!!

I don't know if I am ready to go full DSLR or just SLR like as cuz CJ suggests with the Sony. A quick search on new egg netted this which meets my prerequsities. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16830134044 What do you think? What is a good (read cheap) price for a full blown DLSR? Pax

Hmmmmmmm. I need a cheapo one........halfway decent, nothing fancy. Is there such an animal? As Canada mentioned-- a yeoman like camera = basic???? I don't think I care about zooming in or out at this point. I'm a pro with a Brownie and disposable regular thingies, but have never had a digital. You should see those pics--you'd be green with envy.......rofl :D Help Paxman, then moi. Thank you in advance.........good evening.
