    Re: An "Open Me First" Chirstmas

    Well I have to agree with the others on this one O.T., she is very cute... I like her first photo with the new camera, so doe this mean that she is going to give you some competition at the family gatherings.... and about having you read the manual first it could be that she is just a little intimidated by it and just wants the basic functions and will grow into it...

    Re: An "Open Me First" Chirstmas

    I'm hoping one of the kids gets the bug. I have gotten each of them something photographic at one time or another and they all take pictures just not with the intensitiy that I would have hoped for. Sarah may be the one.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Opps... I hope she doesn't read this. I would hate to burst her bubble on the whole Santa thing.

I hope she gets the bug and takes lot of pictures. I'm a little worried though because she is all ready in her teacher mode and has assigned me the task of reading the manuel then telling her everything she needs to know about the camera. Not sure how that is going to work out.
    Just tell her where power button is and where to press to take a pic.... j/k. That's a pretty nice camera, I'm also starting and it has tons of features, but can also be used as a point and shoot.
