I really want the Fuji e900, its a point and shoot with 9mp!! Fuji also has this great technology that lessens shake and blur. Its over 500 bucks, Im watching for a sale.
I was so hoping that the leaf shot was taken with your p&s, the colour and the clarity of that photo are what I want.
Ive had a film slr forever and ever, but I used to have a dark room and it was much easier to develope your own film and then just print the best prints..once I have a house Im going to set one up again.
I just want a digital to have with me all the time for "moments"

I have a Canon PowerShot A520 Digital Camera, It cost 160$ and has 4.0 mega-pixels. It works pretty good. I want a new one though too.
Clarity, Keep in mind. There is a difference between being an organ donor and donating your entire body to science. What you saw in Gross Anatomy was full body donations. If that upset you, you can just be an organ Donor. Your vital organs will be removed after your death and then you can have a burial.
I'm going to be an organ donor now too. I was talking with my husband about this last night after reading your last entry.

For full body donations you have to go to individual organizations like this one

Good luck packing.
I own a cyber shot that is over 6 years old. It is a nice little camera. But the one I use for real photography is a Minolta X-570 35mm. Yes it is film, and yes it is old but I have tried several other cameras and nothing compares with that one...at least for me and my style.

I have the canon ixus (or elph, I think it's called in the states). I used to have the 3.0 mega-pixels and loved it, so when it died, I purchased the 5.0 mega-pixel version. Unfortunately, I am not happy with it -the night shots NEVER come out. I bought my mom the 4.0 mega-pixel version because it's easy to use and upload photos and she carries it with her and sends me photos of home, which I love.

I was just watching a show on BBC America here "Top Gear" about cars and they mentioned that Americans and Germans have always had certain things in common. Love for: mustaches, mullets and the eagle as a national symbol. They were showing a car that was created by Americans and Germans "The Chrysler Crossfire" (which didn't turn out to be that great of a car when they tested it). They also mentioned the German who arrived in the states, drank the water and decided to make beer: Budweiser. Heehee. Hope you're doing good and Eric's card comes any day.

I carry an organ-donor card, and I never think about it.
I would never leave my entire body to science! I had a medical student for a boyfriend when I was very young, and he horrified me with tales of what he and his friends' pranks were like, when they were doing dissections. Apparently he became a highly respected gynaecologist. Nothing to do with me.
Re cameras I think my Fuji Finepix F440 is as high-tech as I can handle. You haven't signed up for a free Flickr account yet? I post shots as "bootpainter", so you are welcome to have a look, and let me know what you think!
Your photos are always beautiful, it's not about the camera, it's about the person . Have a great weekend!

My sister got me a Canon Rebel XT for Christmas. She says she got a really good deal on it. It's a digital SLR and it's absolutely amazing! I'm still learning to use it and my photography is far from stellar, but I'm having a blast with it. Oh, and my family - we're all organ donors. The big thing is to talk to your family about what you're willing to donate because they're the ones who will make the ultimate decision. But it's thanks to an organ donor that my mother has a working liver. And I hope to be able to help someone else some day.

i know i'm a little late posting so i hope you find this... i have a canon power shot S2 IS digital. 5.0 mega pixels and 12x optical zoom. i LOVE it. i just posted some pictures of munchkin at her game... many of those were all the way across the field from me and you can't even tell. which is why i got this particular camera in the first place. i love it! but it's not all that affordable. :(
that picture of the leaf taken with your office camera is AMAZING. i love it.

Wow. You really make that Cyber-shot do some great things. I'm impressed. I just bought a Canon 30D, but I haven't taken a single shot with it. I'm really looking forward to spending some time around London with it.
