Beautiful pictures - my Dad wants to know what camera you used?

I'm a lazy photographer. I don't want to worry about settings so I needed something that would give me adequate photos with minimal effort.

I have a Sony Mavica with a 20X zoom. It's an older camera that still uses floppies and I love it. Being able to keep the floppies is a big plus because I have lost information off the computer several times since I've owned this camera. The only thing I would add is a higher powered zoom for the wildlife shots. They don't always want to get as close as I'd like them to be.

Thanks to everyone for your nice comments. It was my pleasure to share them with all of you.
