I have two wonderful kids (a 6-year old daughter and a 2-year old son). Let me post one photo of them with their cousin (on the left) here (photo 1). We live in a beautiful oceanfront condo right now (photo 2). I should be able to take a lot of nice photos. Money is not an issue. I could afford to buy a very nice DSLR. But I am just a beginner. I need a camera because my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 just got a dark spot. Since I have already broken 4 cameras, it’s probably better for me to stick with a non-DSLR camera right now.
