the questions posed by "That Guy" are an eye opener and a soul searcher..I will try to reply to the queries to the best of my abilities...

 

 

1. do you want it as a hobby or just for snapping shot of the family

A1) I want to develop it as a hobby,eventually..at present i am looking at capturing the growth of my 1 year old daughter,who hops around the house all the time

2. do you mind carrying around something the size of a small purse or do you just want something you can throw in your pocket

A2) In the past I have used some bigger cameras and realized that due to their size,I was not able to carry them around hence could not click as much as I wanted.Hence a smaller camera would fit the bill. 

3. do you know anything about shutter speeds, ISO's, 'blue hour' or photo composition

A3) I know a bit about ISO but my SONY camera used to take care of that automatically hence I did not bother much about it. 

4. do you plan on spending time in post editing

A4) I would love to  that but again I am no good when it comes to Adobe just use the simple piccasa when it comes to editing....no good huh?

 

5. whats your price range

A5) Can rise to 1500 QR.Money is the solution always I guess..:-(
