Picture This...

I am getting a new digital camera this week!! Little inside scoop on my digi-cam past: owned a really great Sony camera from 2005-2007 and traded it in for a not so great Casio-- just because it was pink (pathetic, I know) had that from 2007-2009. Then this summer when I went on my abroad trip in Greece (10 cities in 3 1/2 weeks~ it was amazing) I used my mom's new Fujifilm camera that is super small (because I thought it would take better pictures). Well I was wrong. The mega pixel-age was set wrong so when I went to print out some of my 650 pictures they wouldn't be able to print bigger than wallet size without looking pixelated/grainy. Most depressing moment ever. Thank goodness for the 20 other people on my trip posting their hundreds of good quality pictures on facebook, so I still have the memories. Anyways it really made me realize how much I value capturing moments on film and I went to Best Buy last week and literally talked the salesman's ear off for close to 45 minutes and walked out without a camera. His recommendation for me: the Sony Cybershot W350 because I want a really good quality camera that also takes HD video. (Side note: he recommended a great Kodack camera more in my budget for my picture quality needs but when I told him I was also interested in the hype of the Flip camera he said I should splurge for a better 2 in 1 deal, a digital camera with HD video capabilities). So I took out my sock drawer savings and transferred money from my savings account and hopefully this week I will go back to Best Buy and buy it. I'm so excited to use it on Spring Break next week!

This is the camera I'm interested in. If anyone has any tips or experiences or reviews of it please let me know!!!
