At one point in my life, prior to the digital age, I was really into 
photography (did the darkroom thing and everything).  Then along came 
computers and photography took a backseat.  ...and then along came a wife 
and kids and my budget took a back seat.  I believe that there's a place 
for both point-and-shoot and digital SLR cameras just like I have both 
desktop and laptop computers.  Right now I need to replace my 
point-and-shoot.  I did look at some DSLR's but they were physically 
bigger and more expensive than what I want right now.  I did take another 
look at the Cannon Powershot the other night but the store was sold out. 
Tonight I plan to try another store.
