Step up from point-and-shoot, but not an SLR (but looks like one). Tons of functions for those who really want to learn photography (turns out it wasn’t me :) ).
Anyway, a great camera for $200. Zoom, video (very good!), stablization, lots of other feature, 8GB included. If interested, contact me at ibelieveinbatman (at) yahoo (dot) com.
