My wife and I travel alot and have been to many spectalur places. Each time, I look back at my video and still shots and see improving but bad defects (IMO).
This time, in Xiang Gang (Hong Kong), I am looking to step up from my Minolta Maxxum HtSi to a better, digital still shot camera. I am looking to spend somewhere between $600 to $1000. I want to do my best in that category. I am not real sure how SLR makes a difference.
I for a camera that can take very crisp pictures of nature and geographics, something I can use to get good shots of architecture such as Cambodia, Egypt, China, etc. both far and close. It does not need to have a dramatic zoom but something that can get crisp shot of a far away mountain and the person 10 feet away from me, at the same time.
I have missed sooo many great shots in places such as Tibet/Mt. Everest to Machu Pichu to Angkor Wat to Potala. Oh, I have pictures of all of those places, and some are very good, but I want something that I can have developed into film and look great while having great resolution on my computer.
It does not need closeup people picture type stuff, although would not be bad, it does not need to be able to catch extremely fast movement like hummingbird wings, although that would not be bad either. I just want an excellent landscape camera.
A key example is to visit my website and see the places that I have been. You will notice that as time goes on, the pictures get better but I want to get even better.
Anyone know of a camera, in that price range, that would fit my needs?
