Well, its been awhile since I posted in this area of the forums. Bad news first... unfortunately I had to sell all my wonderful Nikon gear because I needed the money. Not too sad, keep telling myself when I'm doing better again I can get newer and better Nikon gear.
Ok, now for the good news... I do want to go out and buy a camera. I'm looking for a fixed lens SLR or really good P&S. Hopefully finding the lowest amount of compromise from my old setup (even though there'll be a bit). One of the important things for me is having manual controls. I haven't used "shooting modes" in a while. That is the "Landscape, Portrait, Macro, Sports, etc." type settings. So far I've been looking up the offerings from Nikon, Fujifilm, Pentax, and Canon.
Here's what I've been looking at. Nikon Coolpix P6000 & P60. Fujifilm Finepix S200EXR & S1500. Pentax X70. Canon G11.
Would really like some feedback from those who own or have experience with the models... or any other good advice in general. I know a few of the models I'm looking at aren't available just yet. Not expecting much on them unless someone has some inside knowledge
