What type of camera does everyone use to photograph their Joes?


I use to have a Canon Power Shot A540, then it broke, so now I "upgraded" to a Canon Power Shot A1000 IS - it's only about 2 1/4" X 3 1/4" X 1" and cost around $100 give or take $20. It takes okay pics, but it's hard to get my foreground and background Joes in focus together. My old Pentax 35mm was sweet - too bad it broke also - plus with everything digital these days....

Someday I'd like to get a nice digital SLR (single lens reflect) with a zoom lens and light difuser and all of that, but $ don't grow on trees....
