[pct-l] FW: The good old camera questions...

[Amir]

You are good to go.

I'm taking 60 ounce camera with me :)

I'll try first two weeks with it. If I'll see this is not the way to go,
I'll replace it with this camera:

for my opinion, the major things camera for the pct had to have are IS and
wide angle.

One thing that I don't realy thing you need, is all the X10/X16 zooms.
Without tripod it will be very hard to get good shoots (even if you have
IS).

This camera is very light weight and gets very good pictures (DIGIC III).

Thanks for the advice, especially that review Amir. I had been looking for a
review that had samples of those types of closeups, but I couldn't find one.
The detail proves excellent for a non SLR camera that is $50 more than the
rest of the models I had been looking at and has everything I want.
Now I just need to figure out what 8 ounces to leave behind to make room for
the 15 ounce camera. I think I can handle it....
