Howdy. It's a big camera universe out there. Can you narrow things down a bit?

Film/digital? If digital, do you post process on a PC or use the images as is? Maximum kit weight? "Durable"=waterproof? Budget? Any preference for wide angle, long telephoto, macro?

Cheers,

Rick

Color photos only and fairly economical.
