It's about time!  I finally got myself a camera.  After a year off relying on my phone's 2.0 megapixel camera and borrowing friends and family members I found myself a camera I think I'll will fall in love with.

Type:  Lumix, Panasonic [link]

What I like about it:  
Small
10x opt zoom
Many different scene modes
Quick shutter
Little noise
3" screen.

What I don't like about it:
Not small enough to fit comfortably in my pockets with my wallet and keys in there also.
I am worried about scratching the screen (so I put a plastic cover over it)
I don't have a big enough memory card yet (only a 1 gb)

So today I went out on a shooting spree.  I took a tripod, the camera, and my car and just drove.  Got about 200 shots in about 2 hours.  So excited to photoshop some of them!  I've done some today, but I'm planning on doing some more over the week.
I WILL NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FINDING PHOTOS TO WORK WITH AGAIN!!!

thank you birthdays!
