I think I posted a similar thread somewhere else on the forum but I need some advice. I used to fool around with cameras in my younger days and had a nice collection of SLR's, lens, and accessories which were all stolen in a home robbery. I was into to other interests at the time so I didn't replace anything. Now, with a grandson, and grandtwins on the way I would like to purchase another camera. I don't need anything really sophisticated but I would like to have a camera that I can use to take snaps and the ocassional watch, pen, still life shot. Is there anything out there that is reasonably priced that doesn't require lugging around a ton of equipment that you guys could recommend?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer,
