Power Shots
Since being approached by major modeling agency, HRH Daddy has been up my royal keister to get a new camera. After mine pooped out, I was holding out for a digital SLR, but we bought a Canon Powershot sd870 for the meantime.
Although it has one of the shortest shutter delays in its 8mp point and shoot class, I’m not happy with the shutter speed, the macro mode is lacking, and don’t get me started on the evils of autofocus. I could go on all day with a review, but it really boils down to if you’re used to a SLR, whether film or digital, you won’t be satisfied with a point and shoot…ever. It will do for now; it does have some fun features like color accent.

Well, when you get your new SLR and when you decide to get rid of your new PS you can pass it on to me. I hate our PS because by the time it snaps the picture the child has moved.

Yeah, point and shoots are notrious for their shutter lag. The Sony Cybershot DSC T200 (I think that is the model #) is also pretty quick. Dad’s superzoom should be pretty decent too.

I want to know more about being approached by the modeling agency. That’s quite a lead in to your post. You do take fabulous photos.
What camera would you recommend if I want a small digital to throw in my purse? Our digital is falling apart. I’m about three months away from buying a new one.
