New camera--another SLR or something smaller?

Do you always shoot manual? Or at least semi-manual?

If you like to manipulate the settings, you probably won't be happy with a point & shoot.

If you like to grab and go - there are some super nice P&S cameras that actually take as good or better pictures than a SLR and can have a huge zoom on them.

You can get lenses repaired by Canon and I've always heard good things about it, though I haven't done so myself. Generally the camera body has nothing to do with blurry photos. Its the shutter speed, so it could be the capability, but generally has to do with the lens and size of aperture. Maybe try renting a faster lens and see if that solves the issue?

I have a Canon 60d. I tried renting a mirrorless Fuji camera which still has manual controls. I had a little trouble adjusting to the differences and much prefer my DSLR. But I think that if I took time to learn and get used to a new p&s, I could like it. But it just doesn't give you as much control. For snapshots I just rely on my IPhone.

You have to really looks at the differences in camera bodies to see if buying something new would be worth it, or if you may be better with a new lens. If I were to buy a new camera body it would be to upgrade to a full frame. It all depends on what your photographing too, what needs you have for it. And if you are shooting manual.

What are you photographing? Kids? Sports? Whats is the f stop of the zoom lens?

This is the camera I'd get if I were considering a point and shoot camera. The lens range is equivalent to a 28-140 The maximum aperture is for 1.8 (at the wide) to a 2.8 (at the zoom) To get that kind of focal range and aperture range you'd spend a few thousand on lenses for a dslr. If you are used to shooting in manual modes you can.

I have a Nikon DSLR that I love to shoot manually with, however it's just not feasible to bring it with me all the time. I've been investigating mirrorless cameras for the size and features, and even though I'm a Nikon girl, I broke down and bought the Sony A600 recently. I bought the body only and got the 35mm 1.8 lens for portraits and then a larger zoom (non-kit) lens for catching DD9 at Circus Arts classes. I am so pleased with the results so far, the 35mm takes beautiful photos in manual (and in auto!).

I will keep my Nikon DSLR but the smaller mirrorless is so handy to have around!

My husband has this camera and loves it. We used it in Itay and the pictures are fantastic! link

I just got a new camera to replace my Canon 10D. I got the Canon SL1. It is so light and uses my Canon lenses. I love it! It is so light which is a huge plus for me. It also does video and you can shoot from the back screen or use the viewfinder. link

I have a Canon G15 and an Olympus OM-D.

The Olympus is a fabulous 3/4 camera that takes pictures comparable to my old Canon 5d. It has a full range of settings and you can get all kinds of lenses to meet almost any need.

The gG15 is the predecessor to the G16. Both fabulous cameras. I shoot manual 90% of the time and this little camera is great for that. It's also easy enough for my kids to use. Not sure of the G16 but the G 15 has auto sync flash which makes fill flash so easy.

Love both of these

I think which one will be best is totally dependent on what you are most likely to shoot.  If most of what you want to shoot is indoors/around the house (or similar environment) Go with with best aperture options.

If you plan to do more outdoor day time long range shooting, like birds or soccer, go with the best zoom option.

Since most people are wanting more indoor shots (like kid sports in the gym) I'd go with the G16. The zoom is "good enough" for a gym shot while keeping the big aperture you need for gym lights.

I'll second the Sony A6000. Great camera, light weight, fits in my purse and the 16-50mm kit lens is pretty good.

Hey guys...thanks for recommending the Sony e6000. I loved my Canon Rebel but its just too heavy. So my husband just ordered the Sony for me. I have an upcoming trip to Mexico City and surrounding area for school and can't wait to use it!
