Camera Heartache.

It was bound to happen.  

I lose just about everything, except for my children and wedding ring (knock on wood).  

Last week I lost my nice SLR camera while we were visiting Seward.  The lost pictures, the lost camera.  Heartache.

Now I'm in the market to buy a new camera.  The last one was a surprise Christmas gift, so I wasn't involved in the choosing.  Any opinions out there??

I know some people are shifting away from the bulky SLR's, but I kind-of feel they're key when it comes to capturing small kiddos....  Point-and-shoots seem to have come a long way though.  The pictures below were taken by one of Bry's crew with a point-and-shoot.  Very beautiful pictures.  Although, you'll notice, no small children he's trying to catch with their eyes open ;)
