That's a shame! When they get it back in stock do you get it at the sale price?

It's not on sale at CompUsa, but it might be this weekend, which is the ONLY way I've been able to be so patient.

Thanks for all the compliments, guys!

but I posted the picture to show you the guy not the hair!

 

[LCTsMom]

All I can say about MILs is BLECH!

I also have a Canon. This is my second one, it's the A570IS. I LOVE it! It's a 7 mp. I also looked at the Canon's with the swivel screens. I decided against it because I am VERY HARD on my electronic equipment and it looked like I'd probably break it easily. I go through cell phones like we go through bread here. I am a KLUTZ! I shopped around for mine online and ended up going with Best Buy. I purchased it online and picked it up in the store. I LOVE CAMERAS!

Patsy, I noticed the guy... but couldn't resist commenting on your cute hair!

Speaking of haircuts, I went and got all of mine chopped off. Think: Alyssa Milano, but with more clothing on

I don't have a good pic yet but I'll post one soon. Still getting used to it!

I did too, again:

I got the beckham treatment-

I can't wait to see ya'lls changes

Hallelujah!!!!!

AMEN SISTER!!

Aww, thanks!

Go figure he keeps finding cruise pictures scattered around my house and telling me he likes that hair way better.
Mr. Marine is lucky I like him so much-- especially when his opinion differs with that of the DIS!!

 

[LCTsMom]

Eh Patsy, what do men really know anyway? (Just kidding!)

TaeJa, we want pictures of YOUR HAIR, too! Let's see what everyone looks like, the suspense is killing me!

 

[zweihund]

Taeja -

I will try to post a pic this weekend.

I tried to post this last night, but the DISboards seem to have trouble after midnight. It's a bit long, I'm sorry!

LOL

It's the Canon PowerShot A630. It's 8 megapixels--really a huge leap from my current 3 megapixel camera!--and it's got a 4x optical zoom--which is somewhat better than my current 3x optical zoom. It gets wonderful reviews on every site I've looked at--it really only has one complaint that I can find, and that's that it isn't the best camera for low light. I found one website that said it didn't have image stabilization (a big deal if you have shaky hands) but I haven't read complaints about that. It's supposed to be the nicest Canon you can get without moving into the more professional SLR series. With this camera, you can manually adjust some things which I don't know about but apparently more experienced photographers do, such as apertures, but you don't have to know about this stuff--you can just point and shoot if you want to. It's NOT a slim camera, but it fits in my camera bag with no problem so it isn't much bigger than my current camera. (I wish I could have seen the look on the CompUsa associates' faces when I tried to slip the demo model into my bag. ) It uses SD cards, which are cheap and easy to find compared to other types of memory. (I got two 2GB SD cards at CompUsa on sale for $20 each, compared to the 1GB XD card I paid $20 for.) It also runs on AA batteries, so finding replacement batteries in an emergency is possible. Did I mention that this camera still has a viewfinder in case you don't want to use the screen, something that a lot of digital cameras have done away with? Considering that the screen drains the batteries, and I've seen a lot of reviews complaining that it's difficult to see some screens in bright light, I'm surprised that so few cameras have viewfinders.

If you're seriously interested, CircuitCity.com has them on sale right now. They're normally $229, but right now they have them for $203.99. I would really like to buy from CompUsa because I was very disappointed in my most recent digital camera experience with Circuit City. I went into Circuit City trying to find out why my current camera wouldn't read a 1GB memory card. I asked three salespeople who didn't know anything about cameras, before they sent an associate who worked in the department. He didn't know anything either, and was generally friendly but very unhelpful. We walked out of the store and into CompUsa next door, and their associate not only greeted us within a couple of minutes of walking in, he also knew about the products, answered all of our questions, determined what we were looking for and made quite a few suggestions. He *really* earned that sale, which is why I feel guilty if I don't buy from them.

Anyway, I'm sorry I went on so long! But I hope that I gave you all the information you were looking for. Also, if you're interested, the A630 has a bigger brother with 10 megapixels for $299, the PowerShot A640.

Not a problem. Detail is great. DS#1 and DIL think our camera is failing. I do not think they like some of the pictures I took at the wedding--would have been nice but the resolution was not good, etc--stuff that was the camera's fault, not mine. They recommended a camera but I am collecting other input also. Not sure we will get one soon, but I am collecting anyway and I hate to do my own research.

How is everyone?

I dashed to the Office Max website and they don't have this camera on the site! But Office Max is on the way to Circuit City and CompUSA, so I figured I could stop there and even if they don't have the camera, I can grab a flyer and force Circuit City to price match. It's a plan! Hopefully, I'll have a new camera by this time tomorrow. That's a significant savings!

Thanks for all the compliments, guys!

LOL The guy was cute, but the HAIR was ADORABLE. What can I say? Nice guy, GREAT hair. Gotta have your priorities straight, you know.

Aww, what do guys know? My hubby prefers my hair long, too, but he's smart enough to know when to let me have my way.
