Laying in bed looking at digital cameras online. It's cold today. I woke up and the temp inside our house is 60 F.

Soccer practice is coming up at 10:00.

As far as cameras, I'm planning on buying a Canon point and shoot. I'm going for a point and shoot over an SLR partly for cost, but mostly because I need something with a smaller form factor that I can easily put in a pocket. I've never owned a Canon myself, but I've used Canons that friends and family have, and I've been generally impressed. They certainly seem to perform better than the Nikon, Samsung, and Casio digital cameras I've had in the past.

In the running:

1. Powershot SD 3500 IS
2. Powershot SD 970 IS
3. Powershot SD 1400 IS
4. Powershot SD 780 IS

**In the midst of writing this post, I've gotten word from my orthopedist that I can return to work on crutches as long as I continue to keep weight off my left leg. This is happy news as I've been home for the last 4 weeks. Let me tell you, that is getting old.**

To sum up, I don't have enough info about the digital cameras yet. Once I get it all figured out I'll let you know and get some pics up on the site. I've got a $60 gift card to Best Buy or Amazon.com, so that will likely be where I pick up the camera. We'll see.
