The thing that I absolutely insisted on when I needed a new camera is the a good zoom lens, and this one has a 10X optical zoom, which is wonderful! It isn't a Single Lens Reflex, but it seems to do everything I need. I love it!<br /><br />Hugs from Michigan - DianeDiane Fay (littlealma)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02825847496677271674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163748992686653116.post-38939150090457108202009-08-12T13:20:29.511-07:002009-08-12T13:20:29.511-07:00Hello from NC,

Thank you for you kind coment on my blog.I hope you will come again.<br /> So I hopped right over here and I like what I read on your blog,too. <br /><br /> Good friends are a blessing from God and can't be bought,therefore they are a treasure.<br /> Sorry about your camera ,I too own a Canon but it has batteries,sad to say, which need charging every time I turn around. So if you can find one like you described, ( I didn't know they had those )It would save you in the long run and I bet last a lot longer between charges.<br /> Have a blessed afternnon.Elsie from SW VA.<br /><><Grandma Elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06577325242276975191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163748992686653116.post-14481861122135092062009-08-06T09:50:21.746-07:002009-08-06T09:50:21.746-07:00I'm sorry to hear about your camera.

Life has been CRAZY busy for me, so my blogging time lately has been rare to say the least (and I see no end in sight for the next week or two), but I've had fun reading all yours posts I've missed since my last visit.<br /><br />No camera?!

Semi-Slacker, perhaps?!<br /><br />Anyhow, I am going to second both the elph (canon) and powershot (also canon).<br /><br />If you find yourself ready to upgrade to the digital SLR I will highly recommend it. I have a Rebel and it takes the most amazing pictures! Whatever you do decide, be sure to test out the camera to see that you are comfortable with it and that you like the results.<br /><br />I too am lost without my camera... it's devastating!Jessica Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12026783815905169830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163748992686653116.post-3460046119540704322009-07-31T15:19:49.435-07:002009-07-31T15:19:49.435-07:00I would love to get together.

The next time we're up, I'll let you know and I'll send the boys out on their own and we'll have a blogger lunch. That would be wonderful. You have to promise to do the same if you're back in the Charleston area. It would be kind of fun to put out an "all call" to bloggers in each area to see who wanted to meet. I was just thinking this afternoon about how much I'd love to meet some of my blog friends in person!

My son who is the camera person has a Canon(much more advanced than mine) It takes great pictures even when you don't know what you are doing. It would take much better pictures if I would figure out what I was doing. He can take a photo with mine in about 30 seconds that is a million times better than when I spend a lot of time trying to get a good shot.
