[DigiCam] Re: camera for baby pix

[Jennifer Skahen]

You may want to consider waiting for a while before getting a new 
camera. Your coolpix will be able to keep up with the newborn until 
crawling begins, and the 995's do take a very nice picture. That will 
give you almost a whole year before you have to upgrade your camera and 
they'll get smaller and (hopefully) faster. One of the concerns is that 
the smaller cameras often suffer from poor optics.

Another thought, get a package of the disposable cameras from your 
local bulk store, scatter them around the house so you will always have 
a camera at hand, even if it isn't digital. When you turn them in for 
developing you can often ask for just negatives and a cd. That way you 
have the digital, and the option of print enlargements if you bother.
