Although I disagree about beginner using SLR. <BR/>I am a beginner and I do take many pictures - people, streets, nature, kids. For a few years I have used Canon S1 IS and it worked great for my needs. Then my wife suggested that we buy a compact camera. So, I did a research and bought a Casio Exilim Z1000 (10Mp). It works great but, I am limited to distance. Also, in low light areas Casio is not as good as my S1 IS. So, now I am looking to buy a new super zoom camera. I am considering Canon S5 IS. Any objections or suggestions are welcomed.<BR/>Now, I red all comments about S5 IS and new Sony H9. I would not buy Sony for simple fact - their memory. I am so used to SD memory and now if I switch to Sony I’d have to buy a very expensive (compare to price of SD) Sony memory stick.<BR/>Where with new S5IS I will get 8MP, LCD almost as large as Casio's and I would not have to buy new memory cards.<BR/>About SLRs....I thought about it and ....it is a little too complicated for me, I mean a raw image(what is it?), all settings and a lenses swaps(where lenses are more expensive than camera itself)...If anybody can, please explain to me why SLR is better than say S5 IS for a regular user as myself.<BR/>Sorry for a long comment but it is hard to express an opinion in just a few lines.<BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640055500127815203.post-84270053077208417082007-06-15T01:03:00.000-07:002007-06-15T01:03:00.000-07:00Thanks for your reply.

Also, the movie modes of the Canon seem to be superior. Having the ability to take pics while in movie mode is a definite plus. Lastly, I've been told by several people that the Canon's image stabilization is better than Sony's at this stage. <BR/><BR/>Those may or may not be good reasons to go that route, but they seem logical to me.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11694771358499643584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640055500127815203.post-86243600412042122612007-06-09T11:52:00.000-07:002007-06-09T11:52:00.000-07:00Thanks for your good reply, Father JohnBut DSLR is...Thanks for your good reply, Father John<BR/>But DSLR is good even for crazy Thailand’s atmosphere, though dusty desert is as harmful as a rain forest. Apropos I have Canon PoverShot A70 as my second camera too and I like Canon. Still and all I have chosen Sony A100 for good price and great features: such as anti-shake (I already wrote about in my blog). I think it’s hard to turn to SLR-like after 35mm SLR. You may get much more interested in Pentax K10D or Samsung GX1 with weatherproof seals. As for Canon S5 and Sony H7 comparison, they are quite similar (and great) devices which can give you more various features than you need. Unluckily, they are not the same as DSLR advantages. It’s good to hold and test each camera for some time for final decision, to make the right choice. You can find more details in my <A HREF="http://fototramp.blogspot.com/2007/05/7-best-slr-likes-specification-table_10.html" REL="nofollow">7 best SLR-like’s specification table; Sony DSC-H5 as a cheap & clever choice</A>.<BR/>Can you send me some your Grand Canyon photos for my blog?

SLR is not good for the dry, dusty desert here (Arizona). I took 35mm film SLR through the Grand Canyon on a raft and had to clean dirt and dust and grime after the trip. Swapping lenses is not for me. I like the S5 because I have a Powershot S45 I have used and I like Canon. But is the H7 really better for me?

You are wrong about SLR: it’s not so difficult to shooting with (H5’s manual is still huge); there are some SLR cams abt. four hundreds, especially older models (Nikon D50, Canon 300, Konika-Minolta etc.). SLR accessories are more expensive but you can buy it later. But for shooting faces, people and animals (such as my crazy cat) it’s more important to have speedy device. In other hand I was shooting with canon’s compact A95 one time in Thailand and had good pictures.<BR/>I’m waiting for your photos and next (long!) comment.fototramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01923497191653031702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640055500127815203.post-76754969379692286842007-05-18T15:21:00.000-07:002007-05-18T15:21:00.000-07:00Hi AlexanderIt is me again, Omar; well about that ...Hi Alexander<BR/>It is me again, Omar; well about that money thing, I do not make money from shooting, I just do it as a hobby or as it makes me happy, and I am not a professional at all, I could be like intermediate photographer, and btw I can not afford to buy a SLR camera, it is 2 expensive and 2 professional for me.

And if you hesitate about any troubles as purple fringing before Digital camera buying, I think that SLR camera is more interesting for you, especially if you like to shoot people. Look at my previous posts: there are a lot of good devices such as Pentax K100D or 110D and Samsung’s GX-1S or GX-1L for $425-450. And there is my ‘loving’ Sony A100.
