So I scraped my pennies together and went camera hunting (via the next, of course) and was VERY pleasantly surprised at what my meager cache allowed me to buy. For half the price of what my husband paid for my old camera, the 3.2 mega pixel version of this. I bought something with twice the mega pixels, that is one third its size and that much more portable and has better features, like 1-minute video clips WITH sound. Since I stuck with the same maker, I can use my xD memory cards and need not invest in more memory storage devices. I also found a model that takes AA batteries, so I had no need to get a back up battery pack or special recharger. Oh yeah! Plus it isn't the battery hog that my old one was. This one takes two and they seem to last. The old one I seemed to need to change the batteries every time I used it and always had to have spare batteries with me. True, it doesn’t have the awesome 6x optical zoom I had on the old one, but 3x has proven to be enough to meet my camera needs.
The best thing is that it isn't much bigger then my cell phone. I can keep it with me all the time and get awesome pictures and I managed to find a great price for it with no tax and no shipping, what more could a girl want? (Written as I eye my computer…maybe after Christmas.)

Soooooooooooooooo Where are the pictures from the new camera?
Give me time, woman! I had to stop mid post to feed the little man. Actually this particular photo was taken by a friend and is the low resolution version, but I just think it's to cute and had to show it to everybody. I'll replace it with the high-resolution version as soon as I get it from her. There are more new photos in my flickr account.
