Well, you've read the notes, the notes made you feel all warm and toasty, and now it is time for you to post until the Christmas Cows Come Home.

And now - Dino at the piano.

My goodness, here's a wonderful Christmas present - only ten more posts until 22,000 postings. Before I go to bed, it will be done.

Hey, first post and on Christmas as well! Hoo and Ray!

bk · « **Reply #5 on:** December 25, 2006, 01:36:25 AM »

For now, I'm going to sit on my couch like so much fish for a few minutes, then I shall come back and it will be done.

I'm sorry your camera doesn't have a viewfinder, DR George. You will find it hard to take photos in direct sunlight. You just can't see what is on the screen--at least I can't on mine. I use the viewfinder all the time at the dog park.

Danise · « **Reply #7 on:** December 25, 2006, 01:40:45 AM »

I think I can hang around for ten more posts.

Something else you might want to look into is getting one of those high speed cards. I didn't think it made a difference but it does if you want to catch some action shots.

I don't understand why they even have a lower pixel setting. Seems a waste to me. If your going to take a photo, don't you want to take the best one you can?

How are you going to know when you are going to take that one special picture and you'll want to blow it up or crop it or do something that you can't do with a lower setting?

Yea...my sister's camera has the option and I always used the view finder to save battery power. Oh well...it was a gift, and otherwise, a mighty fine gift it was!

I know. But I suppose that there are some people in the world who might want the option of not having to manually resize pictures. Who knows, maybe I'll find a specific use for it...or not.

Nothing wrong with that! Is this your first digital camera?

George · « **Reply #12 on:** December 25, 2006, 01:48:31 AM »

It also has a macrozoom, so that it can zoom as close as 4 inches away. That's pretty cool.

It's the first that I've owned, but not the first that I've used. I've borrowed my sister's camera and her boyfriend's camera, so I have some experience with them.

Does yours take video? That's one feature I really love about mine.

I don't like the 3x zoom. I wish it had about 10x.

Are we there yet?

Danise · « **Reply #16 on:** December 25, 2006, 01:55:49 AM »

Maybe one more and we'll be there?

Having only eaten humungous amounts of spaghetti, tuna pasta salad, crab mousse, chocolate donuts (2) and other things, I topped it off with a piece of Pecan Pie.

I'm so full.

Danise · « **Reply #19 on:** December 25, 2006, 01:59:03 AM »

Yummers. Sounds much better then my dinner.

Oh well, live and learn.

It just took forever to post.

Hope they're not doing server maintenence NOW for heaven's sake.

bk · « **Reply #22 on:** December 25, 2006, 02:00:48 AM »

A mere three more postings.

We're getting really close.

This is my final post before achieving 22,000 postings.

George · « **Reply #26 on:** December 25, 2006, 02:02:52 AM »

Antici...

Danise · « **Reply #27 on:** December 25, 2006, 02:03:18 AM »

Yay! Congrats on the all the postings!

And a very Merry Christmas to one and all!

bk · « **Reply #28 on:** December 25, 2006, 02:03:32 AM »

And here it is - the big 22,000! The mind boggles. The mind reels. The mind is awfully active with all that boggling and reeling this late at night.

BK - are you getting ready for Valentine's Day?
