We have a Pentax...I'm meh on it. In daylight it's good. In slightly overcast light it's fan-freaking-tastic. In low light? Bleh.

I'm hoping that my next digital camera is an SLR.

I'd love an SLR, $400 I can justify, 800-1000, I can't, but I am green with lust and envy for those that have them!

May I introduce you to the Pentax *ist series of SLR's? They're entry-level, so they lack some of the more advanced features, but every review I've seen says they are fantastic for the price (usually $400-$500).

That's been the case for every camera I've bought. Outside in the shade is also fine. Pentax still performs better then the others IMO. Although I do also like the kodak dual lense also. I can take really wide shots without standing 100 feet back.

See, we had an old Kodak. Size and weight of a brick, whopping 1 megapixel...took fantastic low-light shots. I was disappointed by the Pentax in that area. In all others, it's wonderful.
