Can anyone explain why my thread has been trundicated and duplicated? Do these glitches happen often around here? There was a lot more to this post and the one above it than what currently appears below!

More Bells & Whistles - But What About Performance?

What I really want to buy is a Canon 5D, but that's not within my budget. As a result, I'm aiming for a pocketsize camera in the 5-7MP/<$400 range that can shoot everything from low-light scenes to small reflective objects with minimal fuss. I have a list of specific questions below, but first some background (please bear with me).

I'm in the process of making a giant leap from a six-year-old Panasonic PV-SD4090 with SuperDisk drive (bulky and SLOW). It is only 1.3MP with very few manual controls and no macro, but I've been able to get prints out of it that are quite good. Examples of shots that I have obtained in the past include night landscapes from the top of the Space Needle in Los Vegas
