My mom got one of these today:

It's a sweet camera, and she got it for free. Here's some pictures i took with it:

For free, you cant beat that.

Cool. How was it free?

My mom's brother's mom, who isn't her mom, wants her to photograph an awards ceremony since the other photographer had to get surgery. So she bought a camera for it and is letting her keep it. It's a really long string of odd circumstances really.

woah i had to read that like 8 times to understand it..

yeah. Like I said, a really odd string of circumstances. And she got paid $700 for the job too. And I went along so I got my cut of $200

lucky u got 700$ and a camera (directed to ur mother)

I've actually been trying to do some camera shopping lately. I wanted to get a graduation/anniversary present for my girlfriend to replace her old crappy camera. I've been trying to find a reasonably priced digital slr. Though if I fail on that front I might just go for a nice digital camera.

its the best to do if looking for a cheap one
