Hello all, and thank you in advance for your help
As per the first thread, I will give a general overview of what it is that I am looking for.
First of all, budget. I have allocated approximately $500 for the camera, and know that accessories will be extra.
I am looking for a fairly small camera. Perhaps not pocket size, but I don't want something that i will have to *lug* around.
As for megapixels, I was looking at the 5+ MP range, as I want to have ample ability to crop and resize pictures to get the best out of each shot. My favorite shots are panoramas, though I like to get in tight as well. So something between 5x-12x would be very nice. Image quality for me is very important. A camera with all that right features but crappy images is not worth it for me. From one to 10, I'd have to say at least 8.
Most of my shots will be outdoors, sunsets over skylines, night shots, indoor, architecture, animals, nature, but very few sports or action shots. I would like to make large prints if i get a good enough shot.
I would like to have IS, if at all possible, but its not required. I am new to photography in general, but it is something that I am quite interested in, so a camera that I can grow with is what I am truly looking for.
Again, thank you in advance for all of your help, and I look forward to reading your replies.
