thank you everyone for your valuable camera input. i've checked out all of your suggestions, and david, you win. your recommendation of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 turned me on to this inexpensive world of fabulous cameras. i've decided to upgrade a bit, to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20K, because of the manual focus option. amazon has it on sale for under $400, and helen--the real photographer of the family, is drooling over it already. so. here's to hoarding the christmas gifts of cash--mama, i'm gonna get me a kickass camera.

Posted by: David at December 15, 2005 9:09 PMhow crazy. there was an article about the lumix in the american airlines magazine that i read on my flight back home. the reviews were stellar and i was planning on checking it out soon. you have to tell me what you think!
