I like having a camera now that digital cameras have been invented. I can take a whole bunch of pictures, and only select the best, and the only cost is the batteries, which last a long time when the flash does not deploy. I know that sounds like a missile being launched, but the camera I have has an automatic flash that pops out when it senses that there is not enough light for a good picture.
My next camera will be a Single Lens Reflex, (SLR) so that I can adjust the focus by the viewfinder that looks right through the actual camera lens, instead of a separate little viewer. Gives far better results, the pictures have a sharpness that I can't currently get with my present camera.
