Budget
======

* What budget have you allocated for buying this camera? Please be as specific as possible.

Around 450§ Of course I wouldnīt mind if itīs less.

SIZE:
====

* What size camera are you looking for? Or does size not matter at all to you? I would like a quite small camera, but still be able to change the settings quite much.


Features
========

How many megapixels will suffice for you? At least 8, but i prefer more.

* What optical zoom will you need? (None, Standard = 3x-4x, Ultrazoom = 10x-12x) Standard / can't really decide.
I need quite much zoom, but i would rather not have a camera that need seperate lenses.

* How important is “image quality” to you? (Rate using a scale of 1-10) I want a camera with pretty good Image quality so maybe 7.

Do you care for manual controls? As I said earlier, I like if thereīs many options and settings.

General Usage
=============


* What will you generally use the camera for? I take many photographs of horses and movement, and also some vacationsphotos/family.

* Will you be making big prints of your photos or not? Yes, sometimes.

Will you be shooting a lot of indoor photos or low light photos? Just a few.

Will you be shooting sports and/or action photos? Yes


Miscellaneous
=============

Are there particular brands you like or hate? No.

Are there particular models you already have in mind? No, Iīve looked at quite a few, but i havenīt found anyone I really like.

(If applicable) Do you need any of the following special features? (Wide Angle, Image Stabilization, Weatherproof, Hotshoe, Rotating LCD) - I really like a Image Stabilization, and the rest would of course be good to have, but itīs not a must.

Please help me!! The most important thing is that the camera is good for taking pictures of things that moves, like horses. (excuse my bad english, Iīm a swedish 16 year old :P )

Just a thought, image stabilization will not help you in taking pictures of moving objects such as horses. I am assuming that the moving horses will be outside? Was also wondering if you meant 450 euros, I see a non-currency symbol after your 450.

It wonīt? Well, then I guess I donīt need it. Yes, it will mostly be outside. Aaa, well I didnīt found the dollar symbol. I will buy the camera when I go to USA this year.

Dosenīt someone have a suggestion? :S Have looked at Canon EOS 400D, what do you think of that? I know it donīt has a Image Stabilization, but since I donīt need it, I think it would be quite good.
