We are in the market to replace our digital camera, we need a new one bad. We feel very frustrated with the Canon Powershot that we have; missing shots of the kids due to sluggish processing time, the omission of quality in the pictures we have taken, and the absence of options! It has been enough to drive us crazy!
For months I have been fastidiously saving any extra money to go towards a new camera; which one, though, has been the question. I emailed these amazing artist's, they are people we know from our church back home and they know their stuff. They offered their help, but we'd also like to know from you all; what do you like in your cameras, what do you hate, what are your suggestions? We know you have cameras so help us out! We have been seriously considering one of these:
Nikon's D40 and D50; although Costco has the D80 with a lens for a great price.
We are willing to spend a bunch of money if it's going to blow us away. So, inform us, give us your opinion. We are about ready to throw our camera out the window- if it wasn't so dang cold!

Have you thought about a digital? My husband has a camera a lot like the ones you show here. He paid a fortune for it several years ago. Since we got our digital camera, it hasn't been out of it's case once.
haha! you know u i would love to help but i just don't know anything about cameras now a days. everything changes so fast in the world of digital technology, and i just don't have the time or patience to keep up with it all. i guess just go with what you think will be the best and make sure you can return it...but i really don't think you are gonna find a digital camera with the speed of a manual camera for a while yet. maybe they are out there already, but they are probably super expensive, oh, and you probably need a masters in operating digital cameras to get the thing to work:)
Technology does change pretty quickly as far as digital goes..
As of now, you won't find digital that matches the speed of manual, at a consumer friendly price.
Taking into consideration the volume of pics you will probably be taking of the little ones, I'd go digital. The Nikon D80 is what I would buy. It has the most/ best options for the money. Spend a few more $ over the N60, You'll be glad you did!
Happy picture taking, and keep posting them...I know I'm not the only one who enjoys them!

Canon Digital Rebel XTi. I have a Canon power shot as well (SD500) and it is a little slow but waaay better than our G1. The XTi is awesome and very fast. I have a few pictures on my blog from this camera...the ones of the sledding outdoors. They are all taken from about 15-30 yards with a 300mm lens I got off of ebay for ~$100.
