Not a problem, it is good to be aware of all the possibilities nowadays.

    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.

        Richard
