Andrea, that's pretty much the reasons why I have decided to try this camera. Faster shutter speeds. I hope to get a good zoom lens one of these days to get better sports pictures, too. I can't wait for it to get here so I can learn all about it! I've heard going from a point and shoot to an SLR is like learning how to use a camera all over again.

I felt horrible last night. Had the chills all night and a 101 temp. After I fixed dinner (homemade pizza) I pretty much just sat on the recliner with three quilts on me and didn't get back up til this morning. I even slept with my boots on! LOL! And of course, holding the baby all night, too. He is better now, and so far, none of the other kids have come down with anything.

Nil on flying. I managed to clean up the kitchen a few minutes ago from last night. And that's probably all I'll do. I HATE being sick! I don't have time for this!
