Alas, our camera has gone to the Great Electronics Pile in the sky-- it did not survive its fateful fall to a freezing Philadephia sidewalk. :( And we definitely need to buy a new one before we go to New Zealand in six weeks!

So I thought I would ask you, dear flist, if anyone has any camera recommendations. We would really like something that can take good pics under convention conditions (most of our hall costume D*C pics turned out grainy and not-great quality). Bonus points for something that's small and not insanely expensive.

I've discovered my new favorite feature on imdb-- the content advisory for parents. Basically it's a list of everything in the movie that could be considered objectionable: sex, violence, profanity, what have you. It's supposed to be for parents to decide whether they can take their kids to a particular movie, but it's great for me, because I'm a complete fraidy-cat who can't handle violence/gore/scary stuff. So for example, here's the page for 3:10 to Yuma (could be considered spoilery), which I now know I won't be seeing. I mean, mostly I can figure it out just by knowing the rating and the subject matter, but this is really helpful. It's all user-submitted, though, so lots of movies don't have anything there (like Shoot 'Em Up, but I mean, that one's a no-brainer). But still! Yay!
