[Woodcarver] Camera Help

[WorkingInWood]

Hi Dick,
My camera of choice is the Canon G6.  Its a little pricey but I was looking 
for a camera to take both point and shoot snap shots that my wife could use 
and quality close-up photos of my carvings.  I also wanted a camera to use 
outdoors, especially in macro mode on flowers, birds and animals, with 
carving studies in mind.  After 6 months, I'm  satisfied with the 
performance of the camera.  It has a "bright LCD" option and a tilt screen 
for shooting outdoors which helps a little with the visual problem caused by 
sunlight on the screen.  It also has an optical viewfinder which corrects 
for eyesight differences.  To see some of the outdoor results check out the 
flower and bird pictures in my picture trail albums.
