Shutterbug Strasse A photographer's haven for the lastest in digital or traditional film cameras. |

I have a considerable background in film photography although I haven't been shooting much during the last few years. I'm now in the process of setting up a website for my business (I'm a landscape designer) and I'm short on good images. My options are to buy a good scanner and shoot on film (I have Nikon bodies & lenses)OR buy a modest digital camera. My website designer is also a pro photographer and is urging me to buy a digital SLR but that is way more than I'm willing to spend right now. Money is tight and the half-life of digital equipment is frightening. I'm leaning toward the Canon G5 in preference to the Sony DSC V1. The street price is almost exactly the same and the Sony feels much more plasticy plus it eats batteries and uses the Memory Stick. I am, however, certainly willing to listen to arguments for the Sony or Panasonic or Olympus or ??? My other option would be a further step down to the Canon A70/A80 but I'm not sure they have adequate image quality? I'm sure I will find other uses but right now I only want plant and landscape images for the web. Any informed advice would be very welcome. I could put off the purchase until April but not much later (need the shots and the dwindling value of the dollar is worrisome). Yes, I have searched the archives.
