Canon is130X

12 megapixel ccd, 12X optical zoom lens, macro good enough to fill the frame with your thumbnail, uses AA batteries, survived my drop test (36" onto concrete floor). Runs $150 on eBay.

I use mine daily to Engineering and construction site photos and it has not quit on me yet.

Best guess, it hit the shop floor to many times + it eats AA batteries + has a five second delay between shots.

My daughter insists the replacement should be a Nikon camera..

Her thought is a "Nikon S600" is enough "camera techno babble" to do the job, and cheap to replace when it gets demolished.

Considering where and how it will be used, shop DIY pictures.
My thought is:
# A new camera.
# Good used camera.
# Refurbished camera.

I have been thoroughly confused by "camera techno babble".

What I need is:
* Take pictures of cars and parts.
* Carbon black on black (filthy parts) in low or no light.
* Freshly machined parts under intense inspection lighting.
* Close up shots from 12-28 inches to show cracks/damage.
* Many shots from 4-8 feet.
* Car event pictures up to 400 yards.

Suggestions with a minimum of "camera techno babble" (directed to me) are very welcome.


Thank you.
Roy
