Ugg, don't get a camera with a 4gb microdrive. It's a small hard drive with tiny moving parts. They have horrible reliability. I've seen so many dead ones. You can get flash cards upto 4gb now, but the 1 and 2gb models are the best priced.

Here is some info on the upcoming Sony Alpha Digital SLR
http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/news...tory_8382.html I will have to read up on the microdrives, I definately want somethine reliable, maybe a 4gig microdrive and a 1gig backup would be best.

I was looking at SLR's but decided that the delicacy of the camera wasn't for me. So i started looking at cameras that are noe preformign just as good or better than SLR's, you dont get the flexibilty of changing lenses, but lenses can run up to 300$ Im buying the fujifilm s9000 28mm-300mm zoom 9.2 megapixels and alot mor rugged than an SLR. Also all those cheap prices from the states are decieving. Alot of them dont ship into canada or use any type of P.O box system and alot won't accept credit cards from here and then you have no warrenty either. It's a big hassle for mabye 200$ off at the most. Look at www.camera-warehouse.ca they have some awesome prices and from alberta too.

If it was only $200, but it is more like $600 difference.
And the e-bay link I posted http://www.livingroom.org.au/photolo...a_dslra100.php Ships to Canada, and takes Canadian credit cards. Also camera-warehouse doesn't seem to have microdrives, large soft cases, or hard cases or tripods. But their prices on cameras are not too bad. I really want the ability to change lenses. I want to eventually have a nice 105mm macro lense for aquarium and other close up shots, and a nice telephoto zoom lense, at least 10x optical zoom. Can't really get that without SLR.

I will check out the fujifilm s9000 though, looks interesting, if it has decent macro capability.

Shadowboy, thanks for the fujifilm S9000 tip, it definately warrants a closer look at, I didn't know this class of camer existed.
This might be a good option for me, and if I desire SLR down the road I could upgrade, but this would be a good way to get more into photography for now.

reef geek if you like the look of the s9000 look at the sony dscr1, this would be my first choice buts its more than i can afford, only thing about it it doesnt have 10x optical zoom, the canon s3 is also nice
