Blinker,
Now that real question is as Malice has said...What do you want with it? Want something you can pack in a bag, point and shoot and forget about it? Or do you want a camera that can pretty much work with anything, or are you talking about going pro? IF that's the case, this can cost a few thousand buckaroo's easy to a couple of hundred. This isn't even the top of the line stuff, at that rate. Keep in mind, a camera can be good, but you have to be just as good order to take good pictures as well. It's in all how you handle and what you choose.
The one thing I would watch out for is this, on a cheap point and shoot system it's not going to be a instant. There is going to be a few seconds delay as it takes the picture, unless you want to pay for a little bit more, or if your specifically have that feature in the camera. I would point this out as well, so your aware of the delay, and your not disappointed with your purchase. In the end, I would go to a online vender and read on some camera and then you can get a feel of what your looking for.
Now, I can give you a little bit of info on camera venders:
1) Nikon: Usually, top of the line, and very pricey, but you get the quality out of it. Back in the day, this is what my mom had (Pro) and it was amazing for 35 MM.
2) Canon: Another top contender, IMO. I know a lot of Pro Photographers that love the Rebel EOS line from Canon.
3) Olympus: This is another one that my mom had for awhile, and it was pretty good camera. I say it's on the lower end of the higher end of the spectrum. I had a Point and Shoot with it that we lugged around for awhile until it gave out (A lot of wear and tear)
4) Pentax: Middle of the Road. Not bad, but not great either.
5) Vivitar: Cheaper line.
6) Minlota: I can't qoute them, never worked with them. I think they are a Middle of the Roader as well.
I only know more of the pro side of the camera's since I my mom use to do a lot of photography back in the day, and that's what I'm going off of. I've been very tempted myself to get back into it, so I guess your kinda helping me out as well looking back into the digital era better (I want to go Pro).
G'Luck,
Ali
