I have been using a cool pix and am surprised at the quality. My SLR died and I need to replace it. I definitely need more for my daylily closeups.. You could not have taken those lovely bird photos with the little cool pix, did you? Your instructor is correct but, some situations need more quality tech.Cat, I am using an older model Nikon Coolpix that I have had for several years. It is tiny and rugged so I can carry it in my pocket when I am hiking. Also, I have a large quality digital SLR that I use for more serious work, but I find myself using mostly the little Nikon. It does wide angle and close up photography and is simple to use. That said, the little old professional photographer who taught me photography always told me: "It is not the equipment, it is how you use it."
