Re: camera buying advice.
Sounds like you already have the answer then Sir. One thing I will say having a small "pocket" type camera does have its shining moments as a SLR can be a hand full, literally!
As many have said here its not always the most expensive camera that takes the best photo. Good luck, Ralph |

Re: camera buying advice.
The most expensive camera's do take better pictures, especially the SLR's. It is the candid shots while riding is where the smaller cameras do best.

Re: camera buying advice.
 Disposable camera at 65 mph on the 33, if I dropped it, heck no biggy. I actually think it is kind of artful  . Really though get the camera you like because it will always help you with the memories of sweet rides and great destinations, that alone justifies the expense. Life is too short. Peace

Where did you find such a deal? Is this for a new camera? I'm close to pulling the trigger on one of these but haven't seen it at anywhere near this price! Do share, won't you?

Re: camera buying advice.
Just a word of caution about buying cameras online some of these stores are real rip offs. Call and talk to someone at the location your going to buy from before you buy. Sometimes when they say body only they mean no cords no battery no nothing, the normal stuff that comes with most camera packages is not included, it's all extra. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is. I have no experience with the site you mentioned but did look at it and it looks like the same layout as the one that wanted to sell me everything as an accessory, when I said I just wanted the camera body, all of a sudden it was on backorder.
