I live in a family of photographers. Angie is well regarded by all and typically takes 20,000 photos per year. Ronnie is the two time defending photo contest winner in his school. He is prepping for the upcoming 3rd annual photo contest and took this shot today.

So what are the best camera's you have found???
I'll give my two cents - for a point and shoot camera, I have had great luck with the Canon Powershot series (I've had the A85 and the A95). They're a little heavier than the Canon cameras that use 2 batteries rather than 4 batteries, but I've had better luck with them. Ron doesn't like them because of the shutter time-lag, but you learn to get a feel for it and it's nice to be able to carry it in my purse. For a DSLR, I like the Canon Rebel or Rebel xti. They take a bit more time to learn, but are worth it in the end. Honestly, it doesn't matter what camera you start with. The important things to do are 1 - read and reread the manual that goes with your camera and 2 - take a ton of pictures and evaluate what you get. Try different settings. Try different perspectives. Just shoot! I typically take 200-400 shots at a baseball, basketball, or football game. Of those, maybe 20-40 are good or better than good. It's no different than the sports quote - "you'll miss 100% of the shots you don't take" (or something on that order!). Ronnie just submitted 3 photos for the annual HC contest. To get those 3 photos, he took about 200 photos. With digital photography, there's no excuse not to take way more photos than you "need".
