So, I've just purchased a 24" iMac and CS4 Design Premium (double purpose, taking some web design classes and have an interest in photography). Also, picked up a new 55" Samsung. So, needless to say, I'm tapped out on cash right now.
I've got some good trips coming up. I live 20 minutes away from D.C., heading to San Fran, New York, and New Orleans in the next 3 months. Needless to say, I'll have a chance to take some memorable pictures.
I don't know if I'm ready for a DSLR. I also don't really feel like dropping another grand. What would be a good point and shoot, that gives me some manual settings to take some good pictures at these places? If I find that I need a DSLR, I can always take a trip to my parents place and steal my step-moms D70.
So, with a budget of say...300, what would be a good choice in my situation? Thanks.
Also, any CS4 forum recommendations would probably be priceless right now.
