Okay, my neighbor came over today and brought over a camera that his friend gave to him. He told me that he didn't know how to use it, and it was all too technical and everything so he wanted us to have it. I was like cool, bring it over... when he took it out of the bag, I was like OMFOGMOGMOMF!!! I didn't really know what it was, but it looked high-tech. Soooooo, I went on Google and did some searching, this thing is a pretty good camera.... When it came out it was $1,000, 2 years ago. dang! LOL It's charging up right now, and I'll give it a run tomorrow when my car comes out of the shop. wheeeeeee, perfect timing!

Just thought I would do my "intro post" now that I might actually be able to contribute to this part of the forums. :woot:

Nice juan! I had a 707 (same cam) and loved it. :)

I've been stuck with a Sony DSC P32 for the past year and a half. It's a good camera, very very simple. Then my sis got a Sony M1 for like $550 a few months ago, nothing really special though. You can't even set your shutter speed (I've always wanted to do the blur picture stuff).... Then today came. Finally, some good luck. :D
