Subject: RE: Tech: Looking to buy a digital camera
Count me amongst the "Luddites"--I'm still using a Canon EOS2000 SLR. In fact, just bought myself a wide-angle lens just before leaving for my honeymoon in Italy.

One thing that I would **require** if I went digital is something that can take decent pictures inside. A lot of my friends in the filk community have digital cameras and I see a lot of the pictures they take at cons (basically, concert performances in hotel ballrooms) come out blurry or dark. While I get sharp, decent pictures with 400 speed film and the Canon's built-in flash. So if there's a camera out there that could match (or come close to) that quality shooting indoors, I'd consider it.

Meanwhile, the digital SLR's **are** tempting. Maybe when the price comes down a bit more.
