Does anyone have any good recommendations for digital cameras? I don't need anything super fancy, but I would like it to take good Disney pics (redneck photos and fireworks pics. Oh, food pics too!)

If anyone has a recommendation, please do share. And if I have any lurkers, please jump in on this question! I want all the advice I can get on this!

I've been quite happy with my Canon Powershot, which I've had since summer of 2005. You can now get one with 7.1 megapixels, I think, for about what I spent on mine, which has 5.9 (I think).

This would be the equivalent of mine:

Thank you! I looked that one up and Costco has it on sale right now. And I do have a birthday coming up...

DH and I have been waiting not so patiently to hear from the company with whom he interviewed last week.

Well, we (he) heard something today!

DH received an email that said the interview went really well and that he will be receiving an offer very soon.

So the good new is that there will definitely be an offer.

The bad news is that we STILL don't know what the offer is!!!

I am such a patient person in some regards, but not when it comes to this! I wanna know when we're moving back to Chicago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nicole786]

Ohh I hope the offer is good! I want to go visit chicago one day--just because they have a store there for the website threadless.com that they dont have anywhere else AND its a beautiful city!

Have you been to Chicago? I love it!!! (obviously)

I'm going to check out threadless.com now. haha!

 

[mrsksomeday]

Keeping my fingers crossed that you will be moving about 340 miles north of me very soon!!!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Hope the offer is what he wants!

 

[MeMom]

Good news! I hope he gets what he wants and needs for you guys to be able to make the move comfortably. I'm sure you are looking forward to being close to friends and relatives. Are you ready to face a cold Chicago winter?

 

[Sarilas]

Oh my gosh - you're so close to getting to Chicago! I really hope this all works out perfectly for you both!

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Congrats on the offer - I hope its even better than what you are expecting! I love Chicago - I've only been once but would love to go back.

 

[troobabiee7]

Congratulations on the offer! It must be so exciting having the option to move back home so soon. Good luck!

When it cmes to cameras, I just got the Canon Powershot SD1100 and love it! It was on sale for around $250 at Circuit City and it works great. I first bought the Olympus Stylus 1010 since we've always had Olympus cameras and they were amazing. Big mistake. Despite good reviews the camera was horrible - every sngle picture was either dark, grainy or blurry, and everyone looked sickly in them. I tried to exchange it but was then told about Circuit City's 15% restocking fee, which they somehow forgot to mention when I bought the camera. I'd have to either get a camera more expensive than the original or pay $40 just to return it. That made me mad but the Canon was only $20 more so I got that one... plus the girl didn't know what she was doing and wound up giving me money back So before you buy at Circuit City or Best Buy, make sure you get exactly what you want because that restocking fee really racks up the charges. Either way, I'm serious about my picture taking laughing and I love my new Canon!

Thanks, MeMom! I am definitely ready for a Chicago winter. DH, on the other hand, is a true wimp when it comes to cold weather. We'll just have to plan lots of trips to warm places in the winter times!

Oh my gosh - you're so close to getting to Chicago! I really hope this all works out perfectly for you both!

We are so close! I'm getting so excited! Thank you!

Congrats on the offer - I hope its even better than what you are expecting! I love Chicago - I've only been once but would love to go back.

Thank you...I hope so too!

Chicago is wonderful. After living in Phoenix, I appreciate the city of Chicago so much more than I ever did. I always took it for granted. Not anymore!

They have that camera on sale at Costco right now for 209 with a free 2 GB memory card. It got awesome reviews on consumer reports too. I'm gonna have to convince DH that it's the perfect b-day gift for me. Maybe if the offer comes through today and it's a good one, he'll be more apt to give in!

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Guess what today is!

100 days left till we go to Disney World!!!!

 

[luvfigment]

I am so happy that your DH got an e-mail saying that he will be getting an offer and I hope it is something good. I hope you get back to Chicago soon and close to family.

YAY for only 100 days left until your trip!!!! Have you added any more ADR's?
