What cameras for puppies playing

I would buy one of these Fujis as they are not expensive. But they
don't allow for manual control and mainly, don't allow for an external
flash. It would be nice to have that four thousand dollar Canon that
was suggested, but "burst rate" isn't as important to me (because
external flashes take time to recharge) as no shutter delay.

Sharon-

Your choice of either Canon 350 or 20D should be a good choice, especially
if you already have an investment in Canon AF lenses.

But will you always carry the DSLR around with you? That is where a small
camera with minimum adjustments has an advantage. You can take it
everywhere.

That is why I was interested in your mention of the Fuji F10. I checked
it out on a couple of review web sites and found it to have faster
response than most small cameras, perhaps half a second worst case.

I'm considering getting one as a replacement for my slow Pentax Optio S,
as a carry-around camera.
