I want to purchase a new digital camera for my photography. I am looking for a more amateur/professional camera for nature photography. I need one that can do the following, preferably:

One that takes very high res images.
One with a good/fast zoom since I take a lot of close-up pictures of very small things and landscapes you cannot get real close too.
Something that can take a little movement. Be a small tremor from me, or movement from the subject.
Would prefer a view finder then a screen, but not a must. Something that can take a little moisture and some shaking. I hike a lot for photography, so it could get bumpy. I am also in the south, so the humidity is very high here all year round. I am not going to take it out in a rainstorm (it would be nice if I could), but a little moisture is going to be inevitable.

I am looking to spend around $350-$500 on the camera.

Anyone know of a model that is good for this? Any personal experiences with it? Any sample photos? Help?

My friend went into preterm labor yesterday evening and they gave her a shot of terbutaline. Today she is having a lot side effects like dizziness/lightheaded, shaking/tremors, restlessness.

She was wondering if anyone else had these side effects and how long they lasted. She says she doesn’t feel like they are going away but doesn’t want to call the dr if it’s normal.

Yesterday I was using a heavy hammer with my right hand for almost 3 hours. Since then my right arm has been shaking a lot. Its not just a slight tremor, its actually shaking and its harder to write and type.

Can a pulled muscle do that? Or any other small thing that could happen to cause it? Or should I see a doctor?

Maybe I need to study the Book of Acts a little more.
