Today, I would like to share a bit about one of my BBFF's (bloggy best friend forever), Baby Roca's Mommy over at My Last Shreds of Sanity. Yesterday was her 38th birthday and I'm sure she wouldn't mind a few belated Happy Birthday wishes from friendly bloggers like yourselves! If you haven't yet had the pleasure of her acquaintance, please drop in for a visit! She is charming, witty and giggles are guaranteed! She loves Rick Springfield and she has a very cool leg lamp widget from A Christmas Story too! She is having Shan's Week-end Wordles over at her bloggy beginning this weekend so swing on over to see all the fun goings-on over there! I think Week-end Wordles are a great way to do a weekend post without frying your brain too much! Thank you, Shannon for saving our brain cells! (Mr. Linky ain't a walk in the park people! Go give Shannon some lovin' this weekend especially! I know you'll love her as much as I do!)
I would like to give a big thank you to TuTu's Bliss for inviting me to her Awards Buffet! (You know me, I can't pass a buffet without stuffing myself!) I picked up a few lovely delights over there! You must go read TuTu's blog! You will laugh your tushy off! Her post today is hilarious! And anyone who can talk about their breastache is a superhero in my book! (and her tutus are to die for!) This is what I grabbed at the buffet...
I would like to pass these lovely awards to Randi over at Beauty Be Good! She is a loyal commenter (on many, many blogs!) She is very creative...not to mention one of the most genuine, friendly bloggers I've ever had the pleasure to "meet"! She likes to wear new bloggy attire and is always changing it up over at her blog! I heart her!
Now, as mentioned in my title, I need some camera advice. My camera is ready to be put in a home for old cameras. I need a new one. I LOVE to take pictures, people! Love it! I need camera that takes FANTASTIC photos without a whole lot of help from me. Point and shoot...that's what I need. I want a digital camera that will not have that darn delay that the old digicams have. I want clear beautiful photos. I take lots of candids and action shots of the Irish dancer girl. I want something that captures action shots clearly. I have been checking out some Sony models. Got any ideas??? I am getting desperate! My daughter had two Irish dance performances this weekend and my photos are rotten! Blurry, blur blur! ARGGH! So not only did I miss her performance because I was dealing with the dumb camera, but the photos are horrible! Please help me out of my spiral of despair! Here is a photo from yesterday's performance...blurry, weird alien eyes...UGH! (Check out her form! She's in the air!)
I need to document the Irish dancer girl's progress so there are some good shots for her E True Hollywood story debut when she is a Riverdancer dating Hugh Jackman's son. I am anxiously awaiting your advice, oh camera professionals!
Happy Monday!

Congrats on the awards!
I am NOT a camera expert. But I love my Nikon Coolpix S600. It's pretty forgiving. That's what I take all my pictures with..that you see on my blog! If you want to get real technical -at work, we use the Nikon D90 (But they are a not just a point and shoot..and will set you back $1000) For our less technically challenged geeks (at work) we offer them the Canon Powershot S3 IS. Its a no-bs kind of camera..easy to use, but a little higher end. It will set you back between $250-$550. I'm personally a nikon gal. But you can't go wrong with either Nikon or Canon. I've got no experience with Sony. Which makes me a fountain of useless information..sorry!
I just have a little step up Canon and I love it so much. It has a 10x zoom but is still easy enough for me.
jay at halftimelessons got a new camera that he just raves about. it's a canon, i think?
As for cameras? The one I got for Christmas is a Fuji FinePix J150W. I really love it. Now this is the first digital camera I have ever owned (I love film), but I like this one. All the videos I have posted of The Diva have been from that camera and any current pics I have posted since the first of the year have been taken on that one too.
We got it as a bundle pack from Best Buy.com and had it shipped to the store (free). It came with the case, sd card, battery and charger for less than $200. It is also 10 megapixels (my husband says that's good) so he says we got a deal.
I still, however, drool over the beautiful, professional looking Canon cameras with the interchangeable lenses...but those are about 3-5 grand and I can't pay that kind of money right now. =(
But try the one I suggested. I really like it.
i have shot with a sony point and shoot for about 7 years, and the one time that i had a problem with my camera, their customer service was incredible.
I have a Nikon D60 and love it. My husband calls it my 4th child...
I have a Cannon Power Shot it's probably 4 years old and I love it. My dad just picked up the newer version and it Rocks. Costco has an amazing deal :).
Happy Monday :)
We use this:

Cyber-shot® Digital Camera DSC-H50/B
It has a sport or 'burst' setting that lets you take like a gajillion pix in a second. Its the awesomesauce for sure.
xxoxoxo
Off to check out the blogs you linked!
Congrats on your awards. Very cool. I hope to get some one day.
Luv that your dd is in Irish Dancing. NOT a really bad pic its ok. I personally want to look into a Cannon or a Nikon. From what I seen those are the best. Their expensive and I hope to save up for one with money I make off my blog. Have to have goals right and every lil bit helps. I have a Panasonic and I miss my Kodak it took better photo's and no delay. I hate the DELAY.

I am personally a fan of Pentax...and if you get the newest (and very expesive ) camera...they also have very cool video features...
I heart Riverdance by the way....great excersize...good for your daughter...
