And Harry:
A used camera is also a good option, if purchased from a reliable
camera store or an individual who can be trusted.
Except for a camera that was owed by a professional, most second hand
cameras do not get all that much use.
In your case, a used camera would be an exceptionally good buy, as you
seem to know what you are looking for.

Harry,
You ought to talk to the fine folks at Murphy's cameras, before
making your purchase as they are very knowledgable, and their prices
are more often then not, less expensive then online!

heft to feel like a real camera. Also, it has a viewfinder, which
allows you to take many more shots on one battery charge than if you
use the LCD screen. My daughter, who is a photographer, tried out
several similar camera's, including Nikon's newer offerings, and
decided this was the best high-amateur non-SLR she could find.
