Any camera recommendations? I'm looking into a digital camera. I've only used my parents digital camera. It took O.K. pictures. Just not at night.
Yes, I sure do. The pictures were taken with a Nikon Coolpix 950 (except for the closeup of the Orca, I used the Nikon Coolpix 5000 for that one). The 950 has 2.11 mp and I have enlarged the on in the upper right to 10x14 without any problem, (we used various sizes for this picture to show people what they could do with a digital camera).
The picture of Spaceship Earth was a PITA, took me 26 trys. I had the time to play with the settings, so, I kept on trying.
I love the 950 and bought it as a refurb with an extended warranty. I also purchased extra lenses (they are nice, they just screw on), they are not expensive. Actually, I like most of the cameras in the Coolpix line.
I also like that new Olympus Stylus Digital. I also really liked the 35mm version of this camera. It is small, light and easy to use.
It comes in 3.2 mp and 4 mp.

I don't see that you can add lenses, however.
I also like the Fuji line 2.mp and up.
