I have a very nice Canon PowerShot S3 that I got on sale last year. It has some really great features and I haven't even learned how best to use everything on it.
I also now have Adobe Elements which is a really good software program.
The problem is I want the BEST of both, but can't afford them both at the same time. So which do I save for first?
My ultimate camera choice is the Canon Digital Rebel which ranges from $800-$1300. Yes, it's insane.
My ultimate software choice is Adobe Photoshop which runs around $600.
So I will obviously be able to buy the software first, but should I? And, yes, I know that the items I already have are perfectly adequate for my photography level (which is pretty much nothing!).
And does anyone out there have either who could help with this decision? I could also continue to just hire Maureen for stuff and forget about both! :o)

DH has the Canon 10D which is a step above the Rebel. The latest version of that is the 30D. He only uses that for planned events or if he wants to do special shots of Nadia.
Then we use the Canon Powershot S3 (6 megapixel version) for everything else - photos and videos. We do have Photoshop, but DH had to have that for work - so that was awesome. But he mostly shoots raw and uses the Canon Photo Professional software.
Now let me help you on the Rebel thing. You have to buy lenses. That cash you mentioned is just for the darn body! So I say you get lots of practice for with the Powershot and save for the Rebel and lenses. Then keep using the Elements.
I do love my powershot, maybe I should just have your DH give me a tutorial of this camera. I have a feeling I have only begun to discover it's power!!!
I totally forgot the lenses. It is nuts. Will I really use them, or should I just be happy with the PowerShot and maybe get a newer one in a year or two???
Hmmm, decisions, decisions. Thanks Louanne!!!
I agree that Elements had many, many features and that Photoshop isn't going to be much more useful for you. Is there something particular that PS does that you are not able to do yet in Elements?
I say invest in the Rebel when you can, until then, shoot what you have. You will probably always want that camera or one like it for when you don't want to tote the bigger one around. Maureen
