I apologise in advance for this but if anyone can advise I'd appreciate it.

In the summer we're going on an Arctic cruise and of course I want the best
pictures I can afford. Digital camera makers seem to fall over themselves in
getting more and more sophisticated models at cheaper prices, it's very
confusing.

I wondered about having an SLR digital - I've heard about them but not seen
one, my old pro photographer boss has finally got one and is very pleased
with it but I don't think I could afford what he paid.

Has anyone here any experience or recommendations? I've used SLR manual for
nearly sixty years but do enjoy the computer-related functions of digital
and thought the combination might combine the best of both to advantage.

But I don't know ...
