I know, I know - it's a landscaping forum :)
Having owned an old compact camera for many years which seems to be failing, I want to get a new "bridge" or "dslr" camera for use in taking 'landscape' shots...(see what I did there? ... made the connection back to LJN ;) but also have something that can deal with wildlife and motorsport fast action.
Would like to have interchangable lenes, to cover the above uses.
Don't need a truely 'Pro' camera, but ideally >10meg-pixels so photos can be enlarged, cropped and/or printed large. Seen some good mainstream second hand items for sale, which would get more bang per buck.
Seen many nice Nikon/Canon (I guess they're the de facto makes, bit like Stihl etc)
What's the most used/favoured digital media type card used now (me, I'm still stuck with old compact flash cards ...!)
Anyone ever bought second hand camera's from dealers ?
So, any suggestions?

A camera should be in every landscaper's tool box, IMO:)
I have a Canon G10.
Not too large to carry about but takes an excellent photo. Many professional photographers use them.
There's now a G16 in the Canon stable.
Having said that Gary ....many professional journalists just use an iPhone. Have you considered adding a lens to an iPhone or downloading specialist software app?
Chris, didn't see a reply, I would say Aviary. Some great styles and colour correction you can get with that app.

funnily enough just done the same for the same reasons (that's what I told the wife!) I tried loads out in jessops and ended up with a sony dsc-hx300 really impressed with it and ery very easy to use and im a camera dimwit.
Thanks will look at that bridge camera.....
'Man Maths' works doesn't it ;) ?
I use a pentax adventure proof. I'm not entirely sure what the exact model is I think it's a WG-2. It's waterproof/drop proof etc. etc. Drop proof (from standing on the ground). Cost me about £125 last year so will probably be less. Unfortunatly mine doesn't have any orange on it.
My cousin who is into photography recommends a canon 100D
By far the best nikon site (if you go down that route) is bythom.com.
The control I can have over shots compared with my previous Nikon D70s is amazing! ( and the D70s was a great camera too!)
