OT: digital camera recommendations, anyone?

Canon 950 IS.
That or any Canon that has “IS” at the end.

I have a Canon S3 IS with 12X Zoom and it’s pretty impressive so 15X must be something. I recall taking a picture of the river down at the bottom of Grand Canyon (just to test it out) from up at the top.

As a dad of ball-players I find the Video Capture to be priceless. No more dorking with firewire, recording to PC. I use it do swing clips, and compare the kids to MLBers, and with this model I can capture at 60 FPS or 30 FPS and it just records to a high speed SD card.

Actually I have a clip from a trip up to the Big A, to see my Indians. Here is a clip of Victor Martinez poking a hit I am sitting in this clip at the top of the bleachers just above where the bullpens are located, so I had to be sitting at 380-400 feet without a tripod (better stability with a tripod):

Also at Petco I was up in the very top section and here is Lance Berkman hitting a bomb.

For a good site for evals, I would look at http://www.dpreview.com. He does get technical though.

One thing you would want to determine is what size of camera that you want for a point and shoot (dimensions). Determine under what conditions will be using the camera (like amount of light, do you want the lens to retract and protect itself when turning the camera off). Do you want a point and shoot that allows all the controls of an SLR? Larger cameras allow larger sensors with less noise and better light sensitivity. Lower f-stops allow more light into the camera.

Bought my wife a Cannon EOS40D for Christmas. She is a semi-pro photog and I am an amateur. I bought myself a Canon 870IS. I LOVE my camera. My wife liked it so much she had me get her one. I keep mine in my pocket and love the fact that I can use it anywhere I go and its so convenient.
I am amazed at its capabilities. I sound like a commercial but its rare that I buy something that exceeds all of my expectations.
