You have a great family! And so many Models posing for you to train with your new camera

Congrats on the new cam!!! I'm glad you finally have it! I know I wouldn't feel whole without a camera, and I figure it's the same with you. Taking pictures and sharing them is a great way to deal with depression, and you have a great family that they know that and helped you!

Which kind of camera did you eventually get?

I ended up getting the Canon S2 IS. I really wanted the S3, but I couldn't justify the extra $150 cost. And looking online, there's not that much of a difference that an average person like me would notice. I bought a 1GB card today. What a steal at Staples! $50 on sale for $40 plus a $15 rebate (which I already filed for)

Poor Jen and Charlie, they went from store ot store with me yesterday. They were real troopers!

And something I never said here so as to not embarass Jen, but she did something sooo incredibly wonderful for me. She won an ebay auction for a digicam and sent it to me. I wasn't ever able ot use it because I never had money to get proper batteries. I did take a few shots on it and I must say it was a NICE camera... took good shots, never a blurry picture. It just chewed through my dollar store batteries after 10 photos. I could only afford dollar store batteries!

So now, I'm saying it publicly here what a WONDERFUL friend she was to do that for me. I do wish I had more of a chance to use her fabuous gift. But now she has it for hersef, so watch out for upcoming photos of the Fabulous 16!

Here are a few photos that I was able to get from the camera Jen got me.

Cool that you now have the S2; as you know, I have the same cam (like many other PTlers, too), and I see you already know very well how to handle it!

And oh what a wonderful thing from Jen to leave you that camera!! You're truly blessed with great friends and family!

That's the camera I want (after seeing Kirsten's pictures) and now after seeing yours I know for sure it's the one! Great deal on the card too.

Jen- that was a wonderful thing to do for Kim.
