My dad called me last night and also sent me two urls with photos of the cameras he is looking into buying me. He wanted to know which one I liked, I wished I could have came here and asked for your opinions, but he needed to know by this morning so he could go out and buy it. I had to chose between the Nikon 800, which I believe is what Colm and Syyd uses right? and the other one is the Nikon 950. For some reason the 950 kept drawing me in, I am not sure why, so I told him I wanted the 950. I am so excited. He will probably buy it today, play with it over the weekend and mail it out on Monday. I am really excited about this and will let you all know any details I find out when he contacts me. Leigh
