I finally got a new camera! But instead of a DSLR camera, I decided to get the Sony Cyber-Shot H55. I watched reviews on the Canon EOS 1000D camera and while they were explaining the functions, it was pretty confusing, and the kit lens was only 3.4x Optical zoom, so it wasn't going to do me much good. I spent hours looking up reviews on camera's and found the Sony Cyber-Shot H55. Its 10x Optical Zoom, and I took some pictures up close and they were pretty nice.
