Like many of you, I have been doing a lot of photography as an amateur for years. I've been through the all mechanical SLRs with manual metering days to the AF models and to the switch to digital.
I worked in a number of camera stores, mostly in the 70's, owned a few high end items, liked medium format, etc.
The old Modern Photography published my story on Russian cameras and, in the digital era, more in Shutterbug and their eDigitalPhoto magazine.
I authored a multimedia CD called "How To Buy Your First Digital Camera" and it got bought by Lexar in those heady dot-com days when everybody was trying to explain everything. Most recently, my book "How To Use The Digital Camera You Just Bought" is in a second edition. But the rapid change and demise of compact cameras and many mirror-based DSLRs has too much in flux for a third edition.
Doing more with less has always attracted me, and I have a number of second hand Canon Powershots with 10-12 MP and optical viewfinders. Amazing what you can find for $5-$10.

Welcome to our forum!
I seem to find myself getting more but doing less. I know what you mean about those little, old Powershots. I have a couple that are over ten years old, and they still work. I've used their belt cases for small, modern cameras.
