WOW What A Surprise - A Canon powershot G2 camera! :)  

Hi ellie, Well I say you are lucky to have a brother like that I think now you love him more I do not think I will be scared to use it I will be too happy and use it after I close the conversation I use a Sony cybershot camera. I was surprised by a gift from my friend once as well as a gift from my parents. Thank you for the discussion and have a great day.

Hi ellie,


Wow! ellie, what a wonderful gift that your brother give you, wish I had brothers like that but they too tight lol, my hubby bought one recently and it was about £80, not too bad as I have just learnt to use the camera, not used to new things. I hope you have a sot of wonderfuls hours taking pictures of the kids. Love and huggles.

Hi Ellie, that was really kind of your brother, it is so nice when fanily think like that..you are really lucky and blessed. At one time I needed a new suite but could never afford it and my nephew got a new one but asked me if I wanted his old one as he knew I needed a new suite so he gave me his old three piece suite and it is cream leather, so that I was really blessed with..that is the one thing that has made me really humble...huggles LoLo xx

I have a Kodak with 8.2 mega pixels, it works great for general picture taking. Sounds like you have a great camera, have fun.

How lucky is that? I wanted a digital camera for a long time until my sister gave me one for my birthday. It is a Pentax Optio S10 with 10 megapixels and digital SR (whatever that means). It is a great little camera and it takes really good photos especially for me who is not exactly talented as a photographer.
Don't worry too much about using an expensive camera, once you are used to it you will be fine with it. Enjoy your gift ellie; you'll have to upload some photos for us to see!

wow! congrats! i wish i have a brother like yours too...

i dont have a digital camera, what i use is my phone cam... =(

for the surprise gift, well, it was on my birthday and my bf gave me a kodak camera, that was a very long time ago, and it was a bit expensive at that time too, he knows i've always wanted a camera, i love taking shots.

if im gonna have an expensive cam like that, i will not be scared to use it... lol.. but i'd definitely be careful when using it...

you're very lucky...

I knew that there was a reason why I always wanted a brother! You are so lucky to have a brother like that. I have never bought an expensice camera in my life. At present, I am using a 10 yerar old Pentax that my sister discarded as he rpuppy had a little chew. I need it cleaned but it has served me well. I would have been so surprised to have received such an expensive gift too. I think that last time I was really stunned was when my husband replaced my engagement ring. He gave it to me the Christmas before our 20th wedding anniversary. My original ring had been stolen and he spent all this money on a new ring. I could not stop crying and breakfast sis not get cooked that morning

Hello Ellie. He must be a professional photographer, or a professional wannabe anyway :D There are people obsessed by computers, others by phones, others by cars, i guess your brother falls in the digital cameras category ;)

I guess it was really lucky and quite a shock on your face to see that "old" camera that is probably better than what the usual person would buy as new for standard picture these days.

I probably would be scared to use it i must admit ;)

I have been....at Christmas when my daughter and her family gave me a digital photo frame.....I bawled and bawled. I have a kodak picture share right now and a fuji .....I wouldn't be afraid to use the gift! I would embrace it....take some lovely pictures of my happy face and send the off in a thank you to my brother.....who by the way was very generous in gifting you something like that! Good for both of you!

Wow! Congratulations! I have a little pink Olympus that is just fabulous. It's really easy to use and has a re-chargeable battery. I really love it. It has a marvellous zoom capacity. My last camera stopped working, then next time I tried it, the whole program was wiped off it. It ha d formatted itself somehow. What can you do with a blank camera??

I'd probably not be able to use your Canon...have you worked out how to switch it on yet? . With any of the new gadgets coming out, I find I'm better off if they are as simple as possible.
