[Woodcarver] Camera Help

[Mike Bloomquist]

Dick,
I had the same situation last Dec... needed a replacement for my beloved
Mavica, but something my wife could use without extensive training.  Stayed
with Sony and bought a 4.1 megapixel Cyber-shot (DSC-273).  Very happy with
it.  The only thing I had to get used to was... the higher resolution made
it hard to hand hold interior, existing light shots (I hate flash).

If I really wanted to go back, I could use the settings to dumb-it-down and
shoot at lower resolutions.  So far I just brace my elbows or use a monopod.

Keep on Carvin'
