I ebay'd my S2, and am hoping to get a couple of bucks for it to cover the price of the my sd550. i am amazed what there lil guys can do. i hope to start my blogger soon. i am thinking of using either blogger.com or .mac that i already have. on another front though, i am the newly appointed vice-president and ambassador of the Charlotte North Carolina Mac Users Group. I am soooo lovin it.... vicepresident [at] charlotteappleclub [dot] org ambassador [at] charlotteappleclub [dot] org very funny…

Its a great little camera. small enough to not be a burden, but the 8 megapixels really pack a punch. The screen on it is also larger than any camera I've ever seen. I've seen that pink Sony camera in stores. Every time I walk by it with my wife she says... "ooohhhhh, why didn't we get that one?" Then I cringe at the thought of what my friends would say when I whipped it out to snap a few pics! Good thing you got yourself a camera as well :) I'm sure you'll enjoy both of them. Congrats on the newly appointed positions! I'm kinda on an extended vacation right now, but when I get home I was thinking about starting up a Mac Users Group in my town. I know quite a few people that use Macs, but I only know them through name, and not personally. So it would be a cool way to meet new people. Oh, and I edited your email addresses to prevent any spam bots from scraping them up :) I have the Sony DSC-N1.

I would have gotten it if i could find it. the canon i got was sd550 for 199. it was a pretty amazing deal. the pink sony is pretty fruity looking, but it takes great pictures and she seems to like it. yeah, the local mac users group here rocks... the people are cool and help each other out alot. i have only gone to 4 meetings and i am the new vice prez... we get free software from apple and other benefits which is cool. do you have any pics posted that you took with your camera? thanks for changing my emails...

Thumbnail quality is <strong>crap</strong>, but thats just because of the image manager plugin I'm using on the site. If you click the pics you should get a much nicer image! I resized them and compressed them a bit.

I have a 2GB memory stick in the camera so I tend to take a dozen pictures of the same thing. Some suck and some come out really nice. So I picked the best of the best to post on here. Now you've got me thinking that I should get photoshop out and do some tweaking. But the only think I really know how to do is play with the levels/curves/brightness/contrast, beyond that I'm lost. iPhoto's 'Enhance' feature makes pictures look nice as well, but sometimes it makes the pics look a little fake or something. Maybe I'll play around and see what I can come up with :) I didn’t do any processing to the images other than the resizing/compression to get the file size down.
