I'm trying to pick a digital camera and all the hype gives me a headache! DSLR, P&S, Raw, Tiff, Jpeg. "amateur," 'prosumer', professional! I got an olympus 5000 as a gift last year and I've won two photo awards; one for nude photography & one for architectural photography. The way people write, you'd think photography is rocket science. Geez. my friend who does covers for fashion magazines said about being a photographer, 'all you need to do is push a button.' I'm looking at a G7 which everybody complains about as not having RAW to the point where it sounds like the biggest sin since Adam & Eve. I can't stand the heavy DSLR cameras. I hear that pro cameras have better components so they'll last for years. I got a film SLR when I was 13 and after 17 years of banging it up through jungles and climbing mountains, it works great. I am on a budget and I'm no into photography to make manufacturer's rich; I do it to take good photos. So can I stick with my G7 P&S choice?
