Portability is high on the list--trying to pack around my current camera with the costumes is awkward at best-since it doesn't easily fit into a pouch/pocket or purse. Next--manipulating the thing. At the very least, try putting on a pair of dress gloves and operating these things! Or longer nails than you are accustomed to having--trying to explain this to a couple of the folks at local shops was driving me insane--is it so hard to understand that I WON'T be able to find the itty bitty little button or slide and move it under these circumstances? Yes, I want decent resolution--but honestly, unlike my brothers, who take after our dad and do a LOT more GOOD photography than I do, I don't need to enlarge beyond 8 x 10, and I'm not likely to do that really either. I want to remember that fantastic outfit, or who was at my son's party.

I am allowed to read the book(s), but can't start using the camera officially until Christmas Eve. I have always loved taking pictures and own about 10 cameras as of this writing. And finally decided to go "big time" with the Digital. My preference has always been Canon. There is only one camera that I did not like that I still have - the Canon T50. I used it a couple of times and just never really liked it. I love the Canon EOS Rebel X - I still prefer taking pictures with film - to me they seem to be more "crisp" looking than digital - even though you can enhance the digitals - but you can now also do that with the film photos since you can have them on CD's immediately.
