If I were to get a new camera...

Well..

After some research, (and much cajoling from my friends) it looks like I need to find an older model Fujifilm F series camera this year. These cameras seem to be rated "the best" when it comes to taking photos in low light, which is what I love to do, plus one or more of the models has image stabilization. Yay! No more blurry dark photos! But what I have learned is that Fuji abandoned this great camera with subsequent models when the race began to make cameras with higher and higher megapixels. You know 8, 10, 12 Megapixels in a little camera like this seems impressive, but actually that destroyed what made this camera such a stand out.

Here is an example of what I can do with my circa 2005 Olympus..


It is a cool photo but I feel lucky


It looks like the best bet for my style of photography is going to be the the Fujifilm Finepix F30fd, F31fd, or F45fd....

If you are a technology geek like me then you are going to want to read all about it by reading the links below. But the proof is really in the photos which are too good to be true, and no wonder this $200 camera now sells for over $700 - that is if you can even find one.
