The camera has been purchased!

Sure, it took hours of weighing the pros and cons of the many choices available; however, when it all came down to it, we ended up with the Nikon S9100. It pained me to spend so much money, so of course, I left the decision up to the pros (hehe): Kenny and Abe. Yes, they also chose the camera color: red.

We had to consider speed, video and charging capability, as well as size. Then, of course, we had to purchase the cute flexible tripod (with magnets, no less), a memory card (which we've never used), and a case. It's amazing how quickly the initial price doubles once you begin accessorizing.

Yes, this camera is a tad larger and heavier than I'd prefer, but as Kenny points out, I probably won't be the one carrying it around anyway. Sherpa Kenny to the rescue!

Yes, a red camera of all things...oy.
