I finally broke down and bought a really nice Nikon DSLR camera and tried it out. I want to have my cake and eat it too. I wanted it to take gorgeous pictures in auto mode without messing with the separate lense and all. I seriously needed to take a class to learn how to use it, which I certainly don't have time for. It took a few great pictures, but then, others were not so great. Needless to say, it was more camera than I needed and I returned it to good old Costco. I have another on order (still a DSLR), but a much smaller one...that I'm hoping I'll love. I want to capture these amazing years with my munchkins.
