[SML] Replacement Digital Camera

[Alf Sauve']

Steve,

You 7 year old camera has been eclipsed technology-wise.   And there's 
an overwhelming number of models to choose from.

I took Canon PowerShot SX520 to Italy this spring.  It has a 42x optical 
zoom and an image stabilization like you wouldn't believe.   The picture 
(link below) of the Ponte Vecchio bridge was taken from a mile away... 
hand held.

And this model isn't even the largest zoom.   It too has been surpassed 
by even newer models.   Nikon also has models similar.  A far cry from 
what P&S use to mean.   It has all the modes of most SLRs.  Battery life 
is good for all day unless you shoot flash a lot.  Just no viewfinder 
(it uses a 3" screen") and the lens isn't interchangable.
