Every great-sounding new camera seems to be loaded up with video stuff. I, for one, don't want to shoot movies (video), but only stills. All that video stuff takes up room inside the camera and costs an arm and a leg.

Can anyone suggest a digital/still camera, with or without extra lenses, that has all the fire power that's available nowadays? My poor, old eyes need auto-focus, my even older and withered brain doesn't like to make too many decisions so I need auto-exposure, quick bursts, zoom capability...you know, all the good stuff a former 35mm can capture.

Any and all help here will be greatly appreciated.

Outstanding solution.

Bot5h pix are good subjects but suffer from the horizon line being dead center. Move it up or move it down. It's called something like the "One Third Rule".

But what do I know!?

Probably for the same reason people use a slow shutter to blur running water.
