I'd love a DSLR one day, but I love having a compact camera that I can stick in my purse or pocket because I've been able to get shots of spontaneous events. I know I wouldn't lug a full size camera with me everywhere, so I am able to get decent shots of good memories. Even if the lighting could be better or the lines aren't true due to lens limitations, we still have fun looking at our photos. I'd be happy to let you play with it sometime (it's always in my purse!) or send you sample images. I picked up a PowerShot SD1000 last year on Black Friday and have been pleased with it.

I also live in Utah Valley (south). I think that those classes you linked to would be a great starting place to learn how a DSLR camera works and how to shoot on manual. I have not done all the lessons in that series, but have read through several of the lessons. They really have lots of good information. I really need to go back and re-read the ones on lighting. Learning and experimenting with off-camera lighting is my goal for the winter. Camera manuals have lots of great information about your camera and I agree that it is invaluable to learn your camera well, but they won't teach you how to take a great photograph. I, too, have a Nikon camera and think the one you have will be great to learn on. My first DSLR was the Nikon D70 and although I have upgraded to the D300 just this year, still break out my D70 for lots of things. I think Nikon just makes a great camera. BTW, I did a little research for a cousin on a good point and shoot to get. I was really impressed by the Canon point and shoots.

Too funny Kate! I was not disappointed to see Ashton either. I do have to say at least in each Nikon commercial they seem talk about some kind of feature the camera has. Canon does this sometimes but not every time. Or at least that is what I noticed on my little YouTube personal survey. :) Hahaha!!! Too funny Kate! I was not disappointed to see Ashton either.

And not Canons. Thanks, Ashton!! And that's my consumer musing for the day. Actually, he'd look good hawking anything. Especially underwear. OMG. I said that out loud, didn't I? Good Lord, what is wrong with me? I am so glad that Ashton Kutcher is hawking Nikons. And not Canons.
