I am wanting to purchase a camera for taking family pictures such as vacations, birthday parties and different things my four year old grandson participates in. I would like something that would take video and still pictures. I also want it to be easy to operate and carry around.

The cameras that I now have are two Nikon F's with FTN meters on them that I have had for the last 35 years and a digital Kodak DC4800 for about 3 years.

This address will show you the cameras specs. and reviews.
