New camera

I finally bought a replacement for my antiquated Sony DSC-V1 last week. For what it's worth, the Sony was a great camera with lots of nice features, but like most technology, a few years is all it takes to relegate a shiny new piece of hardware to the scrap heap. The Sony's replacement is a Canon SD790 IS, a 10 megapixel point-and-shoot model costing less than half what the 6 megapixel Sony did five years ago. The Canon takes nice pictures, but I have already found myself wanting more manual control. I'm not complaining, though, and am sure I'll be able to do most of the things I want with it. If not, I guess I'll have to start saving my pennies for an SLR model.

Here are pics of my cats, Sagira, the sweet little angel, and Pete, the positively unhappy curmudgeon.
