Congrats on the new camera!!! I can't wait to see your new pictures. You need to take some samples for us! You'll have so much fun on your next trip with it. I can't wait to use mine in November.
Forgive my rambling on. I PMed you again before I realized you had posted here.
I will take many samples today at Disney on Ice and then more later of my babies. Brooklynn was passed out when they arrived last night, and Bella was awake long enough to eat and go right to sleep.
Post some of your test pictures and we'll let you know if it passes the quality test.... I really liked the pictures from your old camera (especially the balloons!)
I'll do that this afternoon or evening. I'm anxious to see if I can tell a difference. If I really can't, I'll just downgrade to something that is less involved. Today should be a good test, anyway, because I'll have the chance to take some outdoor shots, movement shots, low lighting shots, etc.
Congrats on the new camera! You deserve to have nice things too!
I know it is hard for you to justify a present for yourself. We spend our years caring for family and we forget about us.
Memom you deserve this camera and enjoy every minute of it.
I can't think of any better Christmas present for Memom than maybe taking care of some of those payments on the camera for you.
I can't wait to see the pictures. I know you will have fun with it.
Oh heavens, I do not deserve it at all, but I sure want to give it a try! I went into it knowing I had ten days to back out if I decide my heart should not have taken over my head in this decision.
I am so excited you got the D40 and have a good teacher in the house!!
You could also hit Brook up for suggestions on getting good pics as she has a dSLR and has awesome Disney photos!
Well, I have a teacher, but he's not very patient. He starts off slow, but then he starts flipping through things quickly and saying big words that he thinks I'm supposed to understand...but I don't.
Truth is, that is a good lesson for me, because that is the way he always felt in school, and the way many of my students feel. Some people don't grasp things quickly, and it is frustrating to listen to teachers ramble on while they sit there lost. It's no wonder they quickly learn just to give up.
Memom, I saw the D40 marked down to $340.00 at one of our Targets. I don't know if they are marked in your neck of the woods though. When I saw it I thought, "If only I had MeMom's number I would have text her to let her know."
I'll call them this morning and see what they say and have. This one was on sale, too, but not quite that much. I got a bunch of free stuff with it, though, that might make up for it.
MeMom got your PM. Can't wait to see the pics you'll get with it. I don't have a teacher like Drew or I would upgrade. I just tried the video recorder out. I forgot all about it having that feature. Now, I won't have to take my camcorder next month. Yeah! Take lots of pics tomorrow.
Don't mean to hijack your thread but I thought you or one of your readers might know what resturant this is?
That's me in 1974 at the Magic Kingdom. I was almost 10 years old. I posted a 1974 flashback trip report and I don't remember what restaurant this is. It was 1974 the Chef hat has Little Oscar on it.
Don't you love the bodysuit and knee socks?
Jill uses her video feature, but I always forgot I had it.
Little Oscar, according to Google, greeted guests at the Town Square Cafe many years ago, starting in the early WDW days. Seems like I recall hearing about him, but I don't think I ever saw him. I'm old, so when I hear things, I always think I've heard about them before!
Yes, you are stylin' in your outfit. I may have had similar knee socks.
Yay!! I am so excited on your camera purchase!! So exciting!!
Can't wait to see some pics!
Me, too! I hope I can handle it and don't feel like I should take it back, but I am going to be honest with myself. If it seems too involved today, I'm going to just get something half the price and be satisfied. I don't think I'll ever be an excellent photographer or anything. I think my pictures are more about the atmosphere and mood of the moment than about the 'spectacularness' (Not a word, I'm sure) of the picture's quality. It would be nice if I could get both, though.

Good Saturday morning, everyone!
Saturday is one of my all-time favorite days of the week.
What about you guys?
I'm going to run out the store this morning before it gets crowded, and then we're going to the early Disney on Ice show. After that, I don't know the plans. We'll eat for Jill's birthday sometime this evening. She hasn't said where she wants to go yet. Other than that, I have no agenda. We usually make a trip to the
Disney Store, but I don't know if Jill has that in her plans.
I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.
Dawn is at the beach in Savannah. She was going to go to The Lady & Sons yesterday, I think. You'll never believe what she was saying yesterday! She said, "If I had to be a bird, I'd be a pelican!" Can you believe that bird-fearing girl even had that thought???
I heard a rumor that cjackearl is making us all apple cakes this weekend, so check your mailbox for some delicious apple goodness.
wigd is either going to be getting her FES straightened out or she'll be at the wig shop getting something to cover up the fact that she has pulled her hair out because of him!
Whatever you are doing, have a great day, and let us all hear from you to share in your fun!
then packing our cases for next week's trip to Disneyland Paris 
Are you planning to see The Princess and the Frog, too?
I love the picture of the band in Morocco and also the balloon picture , sooo pretty ! The Animation Studio pictures are great , can you believe that we have been 4 years in a row and have never been in there ? It's a must do for our next trip , seems like there is so much to see and do in there .
I would have to say SLR all the way !
