This new camera is a Kodak with a 12X zoom lens.

Digital Photography Review

Mr Toad:

The image stabilization that you suggested is the latest in cool gadgetry is truly useful with this camera. That feature alone makes using the zoom lens at max possible.

The prices are coming down as well.

What does SLR-like mean?

I think it generally means that you have a high level of control over the camera like you would on a SLR, and that it has a very good lens like a SLR. But it's not a detachable lens with a flip up mirror like a SLR. It also looks a bit like a SLR. Actually, I'm not sure digital SLRs have a flip up mirror.

SLR-like seems to mean....about half the price.

I believe you are right Glatt.

This new(ish) Kodak does allow the user to change all the settings but the auto setting is what is used 90+% of the time.

Brevard County, Florida

I lived in Brevard County, Florida for about 3.5 years. All in all, I liked it; however, it was very expensive and the jobs didn't pay.

My official opinion of this area ( as a travelling design guy) is that the people working in design are not nearly as serious about meeting deadlines as those people living in much less interesting locations.

Working weekends? No way. There are too many very cool things to do and see here.

It doesnt pay nearly as much because there are not too many people taking deadlines seriously.

On the upside, it's beautiful here and there are some very interesting animals here.

Here are some pics of the canal and surrounding area. There are warning signs to keep boat traffic slow for the safety of the manatees but I've yet to see one.

To many people. St. George Island, Fla is so much nicer.

Beaches seem so much more fun after the sun goes down. After that, less people is better.

After those two issues maybe if the beach was paved over. That might make me want to hang out there.

This is the one we stayed in the last two years. We skipped it this year and really miss it. June is the best month to go and when we always stayed. Very quiet, small town with few places to go a few places to eat, a pizza place for the teens to hang out at, and some great little bars. Anyone looking for a place that is 180 deg from the Destin/Ft. Walton Beach scene would want to check out St. George Island. I'll try to post some personal pics next week.
