Hi Glenn,

I have three, all of which are made by Sony. My earlier camera, which stored everything on a floppy disk, was relatively low resolution by today's standards, and the ones I use professionally are only 2.0 megapixel, but that's more than sufficient for newspaper and magazine work. The key ingredient is the camera's lens, which even in some of the new, very-high resolution cameras, are just plain lousy. The best ones utilize TTL viewing through standard 35-mm camera lenses, but they're fairly expensive. I just purchased a point and shoot Nikon for my wife, she loved it for about a week after Christmas, and has not picked it up since.

Software is also an important aspect of digital photography, some of which is very sophisticated. The latest version of Adobe Photoshop is outstanding and will do anything that needs to be done to enhance the photos, as well as some incredible editing.

Good Luck,

Gary
