Hello Norman, I will be adding my opinion to the growing pool. The Canon G9 was already suggested earlier and it might well be a good solution for you. It is a light compact camera, produces RAW and has a hotshoe if you want to use a flash. In addition it has image stabilization, which might be helpful in your situation. Read for example http://strobist.blogspot.com/2007/06/on-assignment-on-vacation.html for a review of the preceeding model, the G7, and http://strobist.blogspot.com/2007/09/new-canon-powershot-g9-makes-my-g7-feel.html for a list of changes.
Best wishes, Christoph _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
