Thank you Kevin! I almost nabbed that Sony but I would have been wandering around for some more years with camera envy, I just know I would. Better I get it over with.

Now if I can just learn this new equipment. Holy moley...

CONGRATS, Steph! Sounds like you bought yourself a very cool toy. It's great that you have a camera store to lean on while you get used to it. Can't wait to see what you post.

I am not sure where is a picture of it Carolyn but this is a link to a pic of it and specs and stuff...

Annie...I may be wrong...but after having the 4500 or even it's grandaddy the 900 coolpix, it seemed that any of the point and shoots was a step backwards. But then I was looking for such a broad spectrum of requirements. Some actually had most of them but then these little tiny aperture ranges that I just couldn't want them.

The reviews say they are easy to learn to use. Well let's see about that! I haven't had time to sit with this one yet, and it's been a deluge outside so I have to wait till it stops raining to go play.

Steph, you're probably outside playing with your new camera as we speak :)

Learning this new camera is not going to happen over night but I love it enough to want to know it inside and out. It's an amazing thing. I feel like I've never taken a picture before! It seems as though the manual is written in plain enough English to be able to follow it without nearly as much difficulty as I had in understanding the manual for the 4500.

I did read that it was a pretty easy to learn use for first timer dslr owners and that was the reason I chose this camera. I was really waffling between this one and the Cannon Rebel. But I love Nikon macro lens and I love to shoot macro and the price of the Nikon dropped 50.00 so here I am, happy as a clam.

The store owner, who happens to be a Nikon fan so his opinion may be slightly prejudiced...said the Nikon was more user friendly when I asked him that question.

I love that I have the support of my local camera store because it's like learning a new language. It's seems like a camera inside a computer instead of a computer inside of a camera if that makes any sense!

I was working at the bead store today so I didn't get to play with it yet. You can bet I will be out there tomorrow! Then I have to figure out how to get the pics to the computer.
