The camera post
While I didn't end up getting a camera for my birthday, it's entirely possible I could get one for Christmas...that is, if I give my dad specifics on what I want. And, also, that I don't break his bank. This certainly isn't the first time I've talked about cameras or asked about cameras, but now push is coming to shove, and I'd like some input on

My dad was looking at spending less than $200; this may or may not be a moot point by now. I'd maybe push it up to $250.
My only experience is with AA rechargeables, so while sometimes it seems like the batteries don't hold a charge, the ones I use are also older, plus I don't doubt that my old camera sucks the juice right out of them. My dad's camera (he has a nicer sort of mini-DSLR Canon) also runs on batteries and he prefers that; Laura has dealt with both. That is nice to know that you like having the lithium battery. My only concern is having the batteries run out and not having a backup set ready to go. Sometimes I take a ton of pictures; sometimes, I hardly touch my camera.
No lag--that's a good point. What's frustrating is when sometimes your camera is fine and sometimes it lags or doesn't take the picture at all. This is what I deal with regularly.
I didn't even think about indoor/outdoor/nighttime when I was thinking flash; I'd want something that works well with flash regardless of where the picture's taken.
And, yeah, good quality pictures are a must. :)
Thanks! You've given me more things to think about.
PS--Merry Christmas to you and your family!
