What kind of great digital camera did he finally choose? Canon DC40, a DVD video camcorder, not a dedicated camera! Of course, Canon DC40 can be a digital camera, if the user uses it for stills.
Although I am afraid that it might not be a good choice for me or other people but it seems to be a right choice for him. I think it is just a compromised solution. However, some of his pictures show that using a DV as a DC is workable.
All the photos in this post were taken with video camcorders, in The Park of Spring City (former Jinan Botanic Gardens) or The Park of Daming Lake in Jinan, China.
