Wanted to stop in here and say hi, I have been a member since '99, I have was active with poser for awhile then took several years time off now I am back. I have never stopped in this forum before even though most of my work posted is photographs.  Photography has become a growing hobby of mine I am rarely anywhere with out a camera anymore.

Right now I use a Nikon Coolpix 5600 its ok IMO but I plan on getting a better camera soon as the nikon just isnt working for everything I want to do.

I am looking into either this

Canon - PowerShot 6.0MP Digital Camera

or

Fuji - FinePix 5.1MP Digital Camera

or any other idea's that someoene may have for me.

My price max price before sales tax is 499 , I would love a SLR but that is going to have to wait for a couple years.
