Olympus users: I used livetime instead of the fireworks setting. Easier.
Next time I will use a manual lens. Set it once and forget it.

(60,075 posts)My camera goes for about $350 now. It is the bottom of the Olympus line, but Olympus uses the same sensor on all models, so I am just sacrificing external control and weather sealing.

(60,075 posts)Do you feel that the present camera is not suiting your needs?
Are you looking for an interchangeable lens camera, or a point and shoot?

(131,104 posts)HAD Nikon, with several lenses, years ago; 'lost' due to life changes. Miss the lenses, but like easy portability of the samsung.
Would like to work with lenses now that I have time and a place and y'all, tho vision's not as good as it was. (DID have cataract surgery recently, but need glasses for camera work now which wasn't the case in the 'olden' days. NUISANCE!)

(60,075 posts)Take a look at the mirrorless cameras from Sony, and the Micro 4/3 cameras from Olympus and Panasonic/LUMIX. They are smaller and lighter, but have a smaller sensor than the Sony. Micro 4/3 has a good lineup of lenses. They are generally lighter than the ones on the Sony.

http://www.dpreview.com is a good resource for reviews.
Take your time, and while you are shopping, take a bunch of photos.

The light and shadows are the perfect complement to that feeling.
