ok guys, i'm in the market for a new camera, and this one looks better and better each day...any thought on this or any recommendations on which to go with?
thanks.

Thats quite a big lens, probably get a fair bit of camera shake going on with it.
- Mimio0
I thought camera shake was from having a camera that is too small or too light?

i have a steady hand....but i can see what you are saying....i've only read good things about this, a few bad, but the lens size and shakyness wasn't one...
- JamesEngage0
camera shakes comes from the shutter being open for too long... moerso that how light your camera is.

anyone have any other cameras in the same area that you guys can really say "this is the best camera ever?!"

hey, that camera has image stabilization buil;t in i beleive. i would still go for the canon rebel eos though. besides the plastic body, i have never heard anyone that owns one complain.
- Mimio0
Right, by the camera not being steady for longer exposures. We're saying the same thing.

the Canon G series cameras have always been pretty good, might be a little bit too point and shooty for what you want though.

i've got the fuji s5000. about as expensive and i love it. it's got a 10x zoom which ultimately won me over over the more expensive sony which doesn't have a zoom like that. i think...

Buy this one, it's better then the new F828 which has the same size sensor, I had this cam for a while, it made some pretty nice pics.
