Since you are taking pictures for posting online you won't benefit from higher resolution, which is a major feature of newer cameras. Since you use a tripod you won't care about anti-shake features. In your appliation camera size won't matter. So I can't imagine what you may be seeking in a new camera. What is it that you do not like about your Coolpix 4500? ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
