When we finally tood our foray into the J digital realm (I held out until I tested a cam that I really liked) we gotJ ourselves his and hers Canon EOS 20Ds.  http://tmesis.com/eos-20D/2EOS.jpgI The 20Ds fire up fast and can take 5-8 frames/sec. if necessary.  I some- H times configure it to take shots at the Tv I have set and 1 or 2 stops I from that setting.  A great feature when shooting a low light/fast moving  subject like at a concert.  I We still have the film cams.  We also have a Mamiya 645Pro medium format. I There is a "digital back" for the Mamiya but I've not decided we'd use it G enough to warrant mortgaging the house to buy it -- it's very pricey.     5 Here a pic of some of the photo toys in our arsenal.    + http://tmesis.com/photography/ummagumma.jpg       G >> www.dpreview.com is a useful source of digital camera reviews, and   2 >> others here can no doubt recommend other sites.L >I have been quite please with Canon Power Shot G6 and the software it comes >with.  I There are plenty of camera equipment reviews.  Google can help you there. H I've purchased the lion's share of the photo equipment in out arsenal onH line from B&H Photo Video in NYC. ( http:/bhphotovideo.com ).  I finallyG visited the actual store the Tuesday after Christmas this year.  If you G are a photo buff, go visit this store and drool.
