Well it looks like my camera ol'Betsy has decided to retire after the Ireland trip! :shock: I need some help/advice on deciding if I want to still go with the point&shoots or step up to the DSLRs.

The DSLRs I'm looking at are the Canon EOS Rebel XS EF-S, Canon EOS Rebel XSi or the Pentax K-X and maybe the Nikons.

Any point&shoot recommendations?

Any opinions would be appreciated! 8-)

Settled on a Nikon D3000 from Best Buy, they had a good special going on here. The kit included a camera backpack, camera& lens and another lens- 55-200mm telephoto for one price. :)

Sorry I was going to respond. Nice camera. :)

I know there are a couple of Nikon users here and I have seen their work, very nice. :)

The 3000 is a great camera. I put it through some paces a year or so ago. You will find it a fun and flexible platform to expand your imagery. I tested its variable sensor positioning for resolution and a lot of macros stuff with it. Let me know if you have any problems or are just curious about it. The wife got the 3000 in the divorce and I am now using a D2x. (uZa) VS ( VirginSacrifice) up in Colorado shoots a lot of botanicals with his Nikon. Sorry it took me so long to catch your post.

Thanks F8, good info... still letting the "auto" do the work..... :roll: It takes great pics with auto! :D I do wish it had "live view" but that's just my 2 cents, I guess I'm still use to my old "Point-and-Shoot" cameras. :|
