EOS IIe to 7e? G3 or D60?

[Susan Luten]

I'm aspiring to be a serious amateur, looking forward to retirement next year, and thinking I should get all my equipment bought before the paycheck stops coming in. My uses run the gamut -- portraits, night photography, a little macro with closeup lenses, architectural, and the usual travel photos. So -- two questions which I have looked at in the archives, and looked at on the web, but you folks are, of course, the experts:

1. Should I upgrade from my IIe to a 7e? The assessment of the 7e in the archives seems to be either neutral to negative. Is there any good reason to go to the 7e?

2. As a first digital camera, the powershot G3 looks very attractive, and, of course, $1300 less than the D60. Is the D60 worth the extra money at this point?

Thanks!

Susan
