What do you guys think? Just found out the wife is pregnant not too long ago, but she is letting me make one last purchase.

If you have to ask that question you need to be on a camera forum...

Think of it this way: with a gun you don't have to take a picture of it--you can hang the real thing up over the fireplace.
I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.

You should get the camera, you won't regret it once the baby is born. Plus it's OK to point it at people in fact they expect it, I hope your model doesn't have a thumb safety. :?

Thanks for the input. Lol... Yeah I have 2 smaller cameras already, but this one would be the bigger nicer ones.

If you have 2 smaller cameras why are you not buying a DSLR?

For about $75 less than the SX30IS, you can get a better superzoom camera in the form of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40. Read the user reviews of both cameras on Amazon.com.

If you're going to get a camera, get a DSLR. If you're going to make the RIGHT decision, get the gun. :lol:
