Thanks for the tip!! It looks like a good camera. Im not sure if you are familiar with any other Olympus models, but I've been having a really hard time getting my Tough to take any good indoor shots. It has a function for auto, as well as a few specifically for indoors/low light and different types of light. The problem I run into is that my pictures either come out really dark and orange, really blurry (I think it uses a slower  shutter speed?), really bright and whited-out or just completely black. The tough does great outside but I cant seem to figure out the indoors even after reading the manual. Any ideas? Also, How is the Olympus Pen E-PL1 at shooting action shots? My main subjects will probably be my corgis and they never sit still!!

Laura, take a look at the Olympus Pen series.  The new generations of cameras have just been announced so the last generation are on sale at some great prices.  The Olympus Pen E-PL1 camera I paid $400+ for in 2010 can be found now for as little $150 for the basic body.  Here's a link to show you the sort of pictures people are taking with that "old" camera.  Link

Truly though, much of the secret of getting good photos is not the camera but learning proper shooting techniques, understanding composition, how the light affects the picture, and how to set the camera to it's best advantage.  There are lots of great videos on-line about the fundamentals of good digital photography.  Then learning to fix your mistakes (we all make them) in the computer is essential, also.

ideas on the best (not so costly) camera? I currently have an olympus tough, which i LOVE because i can take it on the water and not worry about it being dropped or getting wet. but i really want to get into more professional looking pictures. I go in the store and I see tons of professional looking cameras, but i have no idea where to begin!

Below are some shots of the gang chasing the ball. The first 3 are 8 year old Teegan, then 1 year old Walter followed by 3 month old Lilly playing with the ball and also sitting pretty.

Today's photography tip:When trying for a steady shot, do not let your Corgi use the camera strap as a tug toy.

Some pictures I took at the breeder. Our new Cardigan Corgi Lilly, she is on the left. On the left is one of her litter mates.

I typically first set my Canon to Al Servo and continuos shot. Then, when I'm shooting I usually bump the ISO to 1600. That's the highest I have since my camera is a bit older (Canon XS). As for shutter speed, I usually try to aim for at least 1/3200 but I think some of my better shots are usually at 1/4000. 

I can't seem to think of anything other than those few things I change to when I'm shooting Emma or my brother's soccer games.
