  1. I recently acquired an E-Volt 300. Actually it was a gift from my boys. I'm very happy with it. Are there better cameras out there...probably. But at what cost? Sometimes, "better" is the enemy of "good enough." It's interesting sometimes to see how folks can stake out positions on equipment and preach as gospel how one piece of equipment is the best and all else aren't worth owning. I'm a bit of a motor-head...so to me...it's analogous to two guys arguing the merits of a Chevy truck vs. a Ford. Whichever one you can drive and maintain best is the right one for you. If you love it...you'll take care of it...and learn how to drive it properly.

     

    I'm not an expert photographer by any means...but in viewing much of the work presented on this site...I thinks it's fair to say the photographer makes the picture more than the equipment. I've seen stellar work done with point and shoot cameras...Polaroid types...as well as pro-grade stuff.

     

    It's really quite amazing how we've all succumbed to the marketing/sales notion we can't be whole or competenet without the latest whiz-bang technology.

     

    So, unless you are a "pro" and have lots of money to spend...I'd recommend the Chevy...just learn how to drive and maintain it properly! ;-) Save yourself some $$. Maybe you can use the savings to take a trip to use your new camera. ;-)
