Hi!

Ok, this is just a quick journal in which I need your opinions from experience or research(if you please).

Bad News: Two weeks ago I lost my black, 12mega pixel Kodack V300(or something like that) in the middle of downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. In a grassy area just east of the almighty Gateway. Didn't realize I didn't pick it up out of the shadows of the setting sun until I went home and woke up the next day. So yeah, some lucky person now owns the best camera I've ever had *sad sigh*. And I've already gone back to check, so yeah, it's waaaaaaay gone by now.

Summary: I'm short a camera and having withdrawls.

Good news: I now have a good-paying, full time job and can save up for a really, really nice camera(y'know, not just a "scrap-booking" camera, but one with different lenses and stuffs *drools at the thought of a macro lense or telescopic lense*).

Problem: I have no idea what camera I want to save up for.

Pointers: I love the colors Cannons capture and am thinking I really want one of those, or a Nikon. I'm brainstorming right now, so I'm not narrowing down the price range, I want to know what's out there and get something awsome before I start having to be responsible and start having to pay for living expenses.


So if ya'll could please help me, out, that would be great. And links to specific cameras would be loved too.

Thank you soooooo so much!
