Thanks, I'll keep these too.

Think about what exactly your needs are because a DSLR purchase is usually a slippery slope of spending. I'm over $10,000 in now with various lenses and accessories..

Take a look at the Canon S90 as a cheaper alternative to the G11.

Thanks, I did look at the S90, great little camera, nice lens and great zoom, but for now, the SX120 will hold me until I'm ready to make another move.

Thanks, been having some fun with it just trying to learn how it works etc.

You made an excellent purchase. I prefer the Panasonic FZ series (have an FZ28), and DPreview's recent comparison rated the SX20 and FZ35 the current best super zooms.

If you want to be prepared for special situations, there is no substitute for practice, and not much cost except time, so take a lot of pictures!

(And get some software - Lightroom is great, Picasa is good and free, Photoshop Elements or PaintShop Pro are good, Paint.Net is ok and free.)

I just picked up a D5000 setup for about $830 with 2 VR lenses (the basic 18-55 and a 55-200).

Bing cashback gave me $137! It was also $50 off both the lenses and camera etc. I am learning how to use it this week as I am visiting Egypt in a week!

I'm no camera expert, but no love for Sony??
I just got the new cyber shot and it's friggin awesome..

I really wanted the sony Nex-3a with the alpha lens.. That camera is sick!!
my gf wanted something to carry around so i just went with the cybershot hx5v.. it shoots hd movies in 1080i.. 10mp w/ 10x optical zoom and up to 20x digital zoom..

i say again, i am no camera expert.. didn't even know what a slr was.
but just givin my .02 cuz when i skimmed through this thread i didn't see anyone mention sony..

The Sony point and shoot's are ok, but their high end D-SLR's (Digital-single-lens reflex) cameras don't have the array of lens choices found on the Nikon or Canon. Once you hit the $1k mark, the decision between brands really comes down to brand loyalty & preference since the difference between image quality is pretty much on par.

cars and cameras are interesting and expensive hobbies....

DPReview compared Travel Zooms recently and covered the HX5. They concluded it was a good camera marred by too slow operation and little customizability, but had excellent image quality if a little low in resolution. They preferred the Casio FH100 and the Samsung HZ35W.

But, it is not in the same league as superzoom cameras like the Lumix FZ35 or Canon SX20 IS.

Anything canon sir, I shall suport you!
