Topic: Canon Powershot SX130

I found this great camera! It's very affordable, and it has manual controls, just right for stop-motion.

Re: Canon Powershot SX130

Looks pretty good. I have the PowerShot G10, it's really a great camera, I'd say the best before a dSLR, but be warned: though the PowerShot cameras come with a program made by canon for tethered shooting, which works decently on Macs, it doesn't support manual focus. When I plug my G10 into the computer and run the program, I can control everything, the exposure, F-Stop, what have you, except for the focus, so you have to get it to autofocus on what you want and then lock the focus, but sometimes it just doesn't work. In my case, I ended up buying one of these. I love it, it works perfectly and means I don't have to be borrowing anyone's computer when I want to animate.
