[QUOTE="Tony Eeds, post: 796148, member: 32023"] Consider this .... the Canon D30 that I purchased 2 years ago for $2,200 can be found on that popular auction site for $500 or less almost any day. Depends on the number/quality of lens that you see advertised with it As crim said, lens quality is the real issue. The more you spend the better the quality. Although there are bound to be those that disagree with me, I prefer to buy prime lens, rather than aftermarket and always buy the fastest (lowest F stop) that I can afford. Once you settle on a camera type, be it Nikon, Canon, Minolta or whatever, collect lens that will work with any body you purchase. I use the Canon EF series lens as my base As far as "rich" color, a circular polarizer filter is the trick there and shooting 90 degrees to the location of the sun. I started carrying my D30 in a backpack on our recent trip to Moab because of the strong sun that left my point-and-shoot camera washing out the color. As far as point-and-shoot, I like the Canon ELPH series. They are bullet proof and use the same CF cards as my D30, so it saves me money on memory. It is OK on action shots, but I prefer the D30. Regarding megapixels, both cameras are right at 4.0, which isn't top of the line, but more than adequate for my purposes. One neat thing about the ELPH is it's ability to make movies. The movies and many of the photos at Moonrocks were taken with the ELPH, while I used the D30 when we went partying. [/QUOTE]
