I'm new to this site and was hoping a few of you would offer adivce on selecting a new camera. I'm interested in a Digital SLR with a built in flash (that can keep up with me snapping pictures), fast shutterspeed and durable. I'd like a 'simple' camera that gets superb results - - you know, extraordinary photopgraphs, not snapshots. I was very into photoraphry in the 80's and early 90's (even built my own darkroom when I was in high shcool). I've been a loyal Cannon customer for years but was really disapointed in the Cannon PowerShot - - it seems like by the time I take a picture I miss the shot. I have three kids five and under, they are always on the move and the oldest is getting into sports so it needs to be good for that. I've been looking at the Cannon EOS (I loved my Cannon EOS from the 80's - too bad it uses film) and the Nikon D80. It's time for me to get a serious camera. I'd like to spend less than $1,500.
Thanks in advance your advice.
