Nice shots brother!

Isn't it funny that Ferrari continues to use that strange fuel gauge after all these years?

Ha! I just ordered an S90 on Amazon on Friday. Can't wait for it to get here. I did a ton of research before I purchased it and determined that the S90 is the best low-light pocket camera on the market. I really needed a new pocket camera for parties, dinners, etc. All of the other ones I tried were all crap at night. I'm really looking forward to trying out the S90.

That sounds like a commercial.

^ I just wish the S90 had a longer focal range. But for dinner, parties and the like where I intend to use it I am sure it will be more than adequate.

I also pre-ordered the Canon SX-210, which is also a full manual pocket camera but it has a really long focal range. I am a camera whore in case you couldn't tell!

PowerShot SX210 IS Digital Camera

That's cool. I love cameras too.

Have you ever considered a DSLR like the Nikon D90?

That new SX-210 looks sweet too. I love my G9 for hauling around in my pocket, but the S90 or SX-210 might be better. I really like their small size, but wanted real image quality, which the G series has. And now those two little guys look like they might too.

Just saw Dana's comment. I love my SLR too. D300S. But with 4 lenses, even if I just choose the ONE or TWO I want to carry, it's a lot of gear and size compared to a G camera, and especially to those two new Canon S's......

But always, it's the archer, not the arrow. Our equipment is only as good as the operator. And Green is showing us he's one smooth operator!!!

I love my D90. I got it last Christmas.

It effortlessly takes pretty nice shots.

I took these last winter at my parent's home in Northern Utah.

I was all set to get a Panasonic GF1 before I go traveling next month, but decided it wasn't the right camera for my needs. I'm really torn between the S90 and the Panasonic LX3 now.

But Dana, those are pics of an Explorer(?) and a Chrysler(?) Minivan. Surely a camera like the D90 is more discerning in it's subject selection? ;-)

Nice place your folks have. And you're quite a smooth operator yourself!

↑ Ha! Those were rental cars for my brothers and sisters.

My dad is blind (wet macular degeneration for the past 12 years) and has a full time driver.

Thank goodness. He was pretty dangerous before he gave up driving.

He had a CLS55 AMG and had over a dozen flat tires from hitting curbs, trash cans and everything else.

He blamed it on the car.
