Well that's a digital SLR, though, she's just using a point-and-shoot camera similar to what I use, even the same series (PowerShot) but mine is a much newer model so you'd think I would get at least the same, if not better, results, you know?

I want the Rebel though SO BAD! I want the 12MP one but I guess I will have to settle for the 8MP one instead haha I will be getting it in a few months though.

EDIT: Just experimented with taking pictures w/o flash on JUST the auto mode, and they actually turn out a LOT clearer than pictures taken without flash on manual mode. But I've just tested it by taking pictures on inanimate objects. i'll have to hunt Jamie down and test it out on a living thing...

But the shutter is noticably MUCH faster on auto than on manual. I wonder why that is?
