Thanks everybody! I've heard good things about the Canon cameras, so I'm going to do a little research about them too.

Justin, I would love to have a DLSR but I really don't have the skills or knowledge to operate one.

Rep'd everyone I can. QD I'll rep you on any of your other posts when I get the chance; I would probably be doing it anyways.
