Bob, technology doesn't move
that quickly! Try my thread here where the last post was only three months ago.
Digital Still Cameras (again)
It's marketing (and prices) that catch the eye and give the impression that there is a new camera every 10 mins.
I have become a firm believer in lots of pixels and a big lens to let lots of light in. These two factors give you scope for cropping and editing whilst still keeping a good final resolution.
But for that be prepared to shell out for some good software such as Photoshop Elements £60? or JASC Paint Shop Pro.
So the hobby becomes a money sink; but aren't they all?
The option of taking short MPEG movies to put on the Web Page is fun. I wish could do that with time lapse to get speeded-up sequences of flowers blooming etc.
Ah well, maybe next Christmas!
