For clarity sake, are we discussing two different cameras or will the Sony H-20 be used at work and at home. If just one camera is involved, I would be looking at the Pentax Kx, instead of the H-20. The quality will show through in your photos.

Those photos, with the addition of exterior photos, would be along the lines of what I am shooting. A simple P & S tends to work for us. I did borrow an old Sony cybershot today that has a somewhat more "wide angle" view in the initial auto setting than my old Canon A80 and it was convenient.
I am thinking the answer to my question is to get a good DLSR kit that I can add to as I learn the camera and become more comfortable with it and limp along with I have now and pick up an affordable P & S later for work. Some of the "shockproof/waterproof" cameras are enticing, although they are more expensive than what I am currently looking to spend, and I am always skeptical of anything advertised as waterproof. |

Make sure that you are buying whatever you get from a reputable etailer. I am somewhat surprised that you can get a Pentax K-x for $445. Try running the name of your etailer through www.resellerratings.com before you plunk down your credit card number.

Those were shot with a Tamron 17-50/2.8 at a focal length of 17mm (35mm equivalent of 25.5mm). That lens has a large aperture so it's good for available light photos indoors, and it's very sharp and has very little distortion, so it's a good choice for architectural photos as well. On a Pentax or Sony body, it would be stabilized. For Canon or Nikon, the optically stabilized version doesn't appear to be as good.

That lense does produce nice results. Our interior photos of buildings, which are shot with a P & S, are transmitted to our client in a PDF or hard copy of a paper report and are for reference purposes. We usually reduce the size of the file to about 3' x 4' and include three per page. As a result, distortion of the image has not been an issue.
