Hi,

I recently read that the Canon G9 12MP P&S makes great images. I've =
attatched a link below of a review by noted Cdn Photographer Darwin =
Wiggett.
Hopefully it will open,

    Hi,

    The 3 main contenders for an entry level dSLR (digital equivalent of =
35mm. in film) would be the Canon Rebel XTi, the Nikon D40x, or the =
Pentax K10. They're all around 10mpx, and the Canon seems to be the =
cheapest. The advantage of the Pentax  are that it has vibration =
reduction built into the body, and it's backwardly compatible with old =
Pentax film camera lenses. They all come as a body only, or bundled with =
a "kit" lens, which is generally an 18-55mm. zoom. They have similar =
specs. They all feel a bit different, but should produce excellent =
photos, so the best bet would to go to a store (? Carsand Mosher, or =
Camera Corner in New Minas) and play with all 3. Also, read the reviews =
on dpReview.com.
