The Camera Search Continues...

June 02 2006
So for those of you who were wondering...
~ A "heavy" camera is over a pound. I was specifically referring to a camera that I am very interested in that is 19 ounces. That weighs a tad more than my video camera, but my video camera feels fairly light to me.
~ I don't care if the camera is a point and shoot or an DSLR. I just want something that has better than 3x zoom, because that was what my last camera had and I got frustrated with that sometimes, image stabilization, at least 5 megapixels, and it would be nifty if it had neat features. And something that is going to last me more than a year for crying out loud.

Pretty much all Panasonic cameras have image stablization, regardless of whether they are point and shoot or DSLR. Canon, on the other hand, has only a handful of camera with image stablization (why is beyond me) but most of them have some awesome special features and color stuff you can play with. There's a nice Canon point and shoot that has everything I want but costs around $100 more than the "heavy" Canon DSLR that has pretty much the same features (the ones that matter to me anyways). So for those who know about cameras, advice would be nice...

Be sure to come to the Damascus Road concert tonight if it's still happening... there has been an issue with the sound stuff being fried by lightning... I'll edit this entry later if I find out it's cancelled.

*****UPDATE: The show is going to be at Boenhoffer's (sp?) instead of Salt and Pepper*****
