Hi Mark,

I think that if you are looking for quality video as well as stellar stills; you should go with Canon; although when I say that I am referring to their SLR's; not the SX-20.

The primary advantage of an SLR is **SENSOR SIZE**!!! You can count pixels all day long; but unless you have a decent size sensor (the place where the pixels are placed) you will always be at a distinct disadvantage. If you haven't already...research **SENSOR SIZE**. I tried to find a good link for you; but I don't have the time right now.

The Digital Rebels are good cameras that shoot HD Video and stills. They are a lot more money than an SX-20; but it gives you a sound platform upon which to grow with lenses and other accessories. Even filters are difficult to use on an SX-20 type of camera.

BTW....what ever happened to the tutorial that you put up on gelcoat restoration? I want to send it to a guy I met last week. I followed a link to fiberglassics...but couldn't find the page.

Thanks, Chuck

I'm learning the in's and out's of digital. Was reading about the sensor size on DPreview (? right name?) and learned a lot. Between needing a new outboard, and wanting a new camera, the camera budget is getting cut back. Will have to settle for a fixed lens camera with smaller sensor.

Fiberglassics!!!! Where did my article go???? I noticed that about a month ago and have been meaning to follow up with them. Maybe they can send me the page and I can put it up somewhere else. There is some of the info in this link that might still be of help....
