I love love love my Canon SD1100. I have a young son and the shitty Sony I had just gave blurry, out of focus shots that captured none of the vibrancy and action of my boy. The Canon is fast, produces great photos and is easy to use.My wife is a complete technophobe while I am an uber-geek.
Even she can work the camera in both still & video mode. She can review her captures and hook it up to the pictbridge printer. I notice they now have the SD1200 available - wonder if that means the 1100 is at a bargainous price?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
