The camera died!

Our old faithful camera has bit the dust. Luckily, it happened the day AFTER Christmas. Can you imagine a Christmas without taking pictures of the kids? Anyways, thanks to Ellen for providing us with a gift card to Sears. We went out yesterday and bought this bad boy:


We debated back and forth over whether we should get an SLR or not and decided against it. I am glad we did because we already feel like we have a million buttons and whatnot to figure out on this one. I don't think we would be able to figure out the lenses and settings for an SLR. Maybe later on down the road when it is made for the less-than-tech-savvy type like me! If anyone has any advice on setting or operating this thing, let us know. We don't have the card reader we need to transfer the picture to the computer, but we will soon, so look forward to some (hopefully) cool pictures to come!

Sweet new purchase! Gotta love a good gift card! Seriously, I am so going to the Ellen Xmas show next year with you.

very nice and perfect timing, I hope you got a good after Christmas deal on it. We loved our old canon, but recently it died and we bought a Nikon the verdict is still out, canon is more user friendly, I think.

good choice. I had the very first model of that camera 5 years ago. it takes great pictures and does all the work for you, unlike the nikon i just bought.
