Sounds like the Nikon point and shoots have gone up in quality recently . My friend had a Coolpix for a while and she loathed the thing. It wouldn't focus properly and ended up crappin' out on her after only having it for maybe a year. She's going with one of the Canon Powershots now and loves it It's good to hear that Nikon has worked out the bugs, though.

Shoot with a Sony alpha A350 DSLR myself. Tempted to switch to Canon for a full frame when I have the money.

Anyways! Natalia is a very beautiful snake Looks like she knows how to model. Nice job with a first round of pics!
