W wanted me to open my birthday present early so that i could "pick out accesories and stuff" this weekend. so last night after dinner with my coworker J and her husband, i opened my gift, and W got me a new digicam!!! i know i know, we just bought the canon dSLR, but i wanted a small point and shoot that i could just keep in my pocket or purse and we woulnd't be paranoid about losing it or damaging it. i LOVE my new camera! it's really small, really fast, takes great pictures and amazing video, and has some really neat features! my favorite feature is the color accent, which allows you to pick a color to be "accented" while the rest of the picture is black and white...soooo cool! so today, we played with the camera a bit...
