It was nice but I didn't like fact that I didn't have alot of control on my shots and the zoom wasn't the greatest. So I got a Panasonic FZ7. I should have gotten a Digital SLR at that point. It's a nice camera. I have control over the shutter speed but it doesn't provide the greatest range in F-stops. So I decided to make the plunge into a Digital SLR. I was reading a bunch of forums, reading reviews and what not and couldn't decided between Canon or Nikon (it's a David or Roger issue). Finally, I decided on the Canon. So far I am liking it.

I could have saved you some time and money and convinced you to get the Pentax K20D or K100D.
Canon or Nikon, huh?
That's ok. We can still be cyber aquaintences. But don't go filling Jonny's head with that "C-word" nonsense. He is just starting off and his father got him a Pentax K1000 film slr. Great choice.
My wife got me a Canon for my birthday last year. I took it back and got more camera for the money with the Pentax K10D and divorced her. Don't go bringin' a Canon into our happy marriage!
Just a little rivalry amongst camera users joke there.
Now go out and take some pictures!
