e are waiting for our new DSLR to arrive (ours was stolen, so we had to order a new one). I knew the two week wait would be unbearable, so I decided to treat myself to a new point and shoot to get me by until the mailman brings my DSLR. It will be nice to have this extra camera for days when I don't want to lug around the giant, heavy camera.
I played around with it a bit, trying to learn the settings. I figure I should probably do the same with our DSLR when it arrives, since I had never even learned how to use our old one properly.
Last night I got to try it out when we went for dinner to celebrate some friends' birthdays.
The hubby and I had some Thai pizza:
This morning I had cinnamon raisin toast and OJ while I did some homework.
We spent the day having lunch with my family, and then hanging out with our little nephew.
The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day.
Dinner at the in-laws included steak, baked potatoes, stuffed tomatoes, garlic toast and mushrooms. I had a little of each, but a LOT of mushrooms!
Dessert was 2 milk chocolate covered strawberries and a mini blizzard.

So sorry to hear about your camera being stolen and someone breaking into your house.
My primary camera is the Canon S90 and I love it (previous to the S95 you have). It is in for repairs as my dog knocked it off the counter and onto the floor. I had to run out and buy a cheapy Canon camera in the meantime. I know how it feels to be without your camera.
The great thing about the S95 is that you can put it on fully manual mode and use it just like a DSLR. I'm sure it will take you no time at all to get comfortable with it.
Yay for the new point and shoot camera! It takes great pics!!!
Love the Home Alone Quote! And Georgia Mudfudge is 2nd best, only to Choco-Cherry Love :-)
That's some awesome shots with your PS, canon are always the best.
The pictures you're taking with that camera look great!
I have that for my every day camera and I really like it.
Your P&S takes some pretty darn good pictures! As for my ABCs, I HATE mushrooms and eggplant
I liked reading your ABC's! What makes me run late? The baby!
I love my little point and shoot. I hope you like yours!
Very fun reading your ABCs. :)
I LOVE the point-and-shoot I got for Christmas. I swear the pictures are almost as good as my DSLR and so much easier to lug around :)
I love that P&S - I took the previous one, the S90, to Israel last year and got much better low-light shots than I did with my DSLR. The macro feature is great for food shots.
Love the camera, it takes wonderful pics :) That blizzard looks delicious!!
Well, I'm glad you finally got a new camera, even though the last one was stolen!! What goes around comes around though!
congrats on the new P & S
I have heard that canon PS is a very awesome camera and lots of bloggers use it
sorry that you feel...lost...without your camera from your last post. ANY blogger would! hugs sweetie!!
And 4 kids?! WOW!!!
Niiice, what great shots for a point and shoot!
I am in need of a new P&S. Mine is 7 years old. Still works ok, but I could use an upgrade! Great shots!
It as fun to read your ABCs. I will prob do this later this week on my blog!
i have that camera and love it.. my husband got it for me last year for my birthday...
sorry I don't like dogs. Anyways you treated yourself to a super nice point and shoot!!!
I'll give you a few of my ABC answers. Gold or silver: Silver. Nicknames: Jo, Jojo, Jobo, Jojobean, JoMomma. Vegetables I dislike: brussels sprouts, raw broccoli and cauliflower, raw peppers (especially green ones), beets, turnips - oi, there are quite a few! :)
Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they just
do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined
out the whole thing without having side-effects
, people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
Thanks
