<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Doverboy, post: 574519, member: 18278&quot;]Coinman,</p><p><br /></p><p>I use a Canon EOS 1000D Rebel XS.&nbsp; It has a 10.1 megapixel image sensor and can be used by novices in fully auto mode as well as by &quot;experts&quot; to tweak pretty much every setting.&nbsp; The software package is pretty nice and fairly easy to use.&nbsp; It does a great job, excellent colors, great macro, etc.&nbsp; It does not take video of your kids running around, though.&nbsp; I swear by newegg.com for &quot;expensive&quot; electronics and highly recommend going through the user reviews and feedback there for your purchases, as the community is very helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a budget in mind, make sure to buy the best image sensor you can afford for the money.&nbsp; I also recommend an EOS-type camera as you can buy additional lenses down the road for specific photography needs.</p><p><br /></p><p>A tripod stand for holding the camera is a must!&nbsp; Even with stabilization, your hand will not be steady enough for sharp photos.&nbsp; I use my stand and the 10-second timer to make sure there are absolutely no vibrations when the lens is opened.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still a novice at photography, but I&#039;ve had terrific results in a short amount of time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the idea of a scope, too, and am currently researching.&nbsp; My camera will be used for images posted, but the scope may be more convenient for VAM identification, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
