What type of camera do you use???
I LOVE looking at everyone's pictures - and some of you (you know who you are) take such lovely ones that we really ought to make a TEG calendar from them. I had an old super cheap 'starter' camera that I had given my husband YEARS ago. It took passable pictures of things at middle distance but it finaly died back in May. I went to Walmart and picked up a Vivitar ViviCam because it was about midway between the cheapest and the $100+ range. I loved it at first - it could take micro shots
and was easy to use. Suddenly a few days ago the shutter button stopped working. Everything else seems to be working just fine... it just doesn't actually take pictures anymore.... I guess I got what I paid for.
So - if I'm going to take the plunge and cross over into the $100+ cameras (and that's going to be just barely +).... what do you reccomend? I honestly don't know enough to make it worth while to have all those fancy settings and such. I just want a point & shoot camera. One that will let me take closeups of the garden & critters. One with a flash for indoor picts when experiments go well in the kitchen. One that will 'talk' to my computer without any hassle.
