YEAH!! A new Camera!

Yipee! Last night we purchased a new camera! I decided to get a point and shoot for now, the CANON PowerShot SX110IS So far it takes beautiful pictures...the only thing I am concerned about right now is possibly going thru a lot of batteries...but having rechargeables should help.

I just wasn't ready for a SLR, maybe in a few months or a year down the road...I would love to have the no shutter lag....but this is way better than my other camera with the horizontal lines appearing in every image! It does take some "movie" footage and has a really high optical zoom too.

My first picture....many more to come!!

Camera

Hi everybody! So I have been becoming more and more disappointed in the camera that I have. We have only had it about a year, and I just seem to be disappointed more often than not. It is a JVC Everio and it is a video camera and still camera in one. I have now learned that right there that is probably all my problems. I guess I just didn't do enough research, but realistically, I just wouldn't have know what to look for, or what questions to ask. JVC's videos are in there own format, when you re-format them(to work with or share video's) you loose a LOT of the quality....We got it because having two small kids, I thought, it would be great to only have to pack around one camera...WRONG. I have now found out the hard way. The stills are okay, but I am really wanting a higher quality picture. So long story short...I am asking for advice and helpful information for picking out our next camera(s), so we can start saving money for them. Let me know what kind of camera you have if you are happy with it, ect. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
