work at best buy, new store on 124 in snellville, store 0776, yeah you are right about how most point and shoots will can do good scenery shots, only reason i suggested the slr thing with him wanting to do that is because he might want ot do some manual focusing on certain things and what not that slr's have a beter time doing then p&S. your right about the SD and CF thing as well, the ony reason i mentioned SD mostly is because most of the time in P&S's SD is the most common format of memory in cameras but in SLR alot of the time its CF althought some are starting to go SD
