Was merely trying to state that I want a camera that will last a long
time.
I have a 13 year history of heart problems, CABGX5 AVR, and HOPE I'm still
alive for ten more years. My son will be getting his MBA in business in
July, so I think I will let him buy whatever HE wants. I just gave him a
new Sony DSC H1, as he used mine and liked it. As a college student, he
has
only had P&S small cameras. While the Sony might not be the best camera,
he
can learn a lot, and it's about two light years ahead of the cigarette
pack
sized cameras he's used to. He'll have fun with the Sony and learn a lot,
and if he's serious, he'll move into the field of DSLRs himself. And at
his
expense, too. And I'll pass info along to him as I learn it, too to
influence his path.
