-- I have asked him several times to tell me the model but he hasnt replied yet... but its an automatic camera... i still remember his words " dont push all the button, just the middle until yo hear the noise " when I asked him if i could take a picture....

-- Yes, first i was 99% sold on the canon rebel, but i read on other post that the sony and olympus has the image stabilization... what is the point of having a great-great camera if the pics are not so great...
