I admire the expertise of people like yourself and David, who are obviously so talented in this art form. :D

Yes Kerry. Please join us! Take some pictures of Sydney and post them here. We can all learn together. I'd enjoy seeing some of your photos. Everyone would. :)
David In Indy:
Kerry, here is some information about your digital camera....

Unfortunately I am not too familiar with Olympus digital cameras. I am quite familiar with their film cameras though, and I've always been pleased with the results. So, I'd imagine their digital cameras are very good too, and I've read many positive reviews. So, it appears you purchased a very good one.
I'm not surpirsed you selected this camera. It's cute, friendly and stylish looking, just like you! :)

OMG, yes, that is my camera, David! Only difference is that mine doesn't have the blue strip re "Easy Operation" at left.
Thank you for this information. I really should read the instructions manual more diligently 'cause I didn't realise until reading your info that there's a special night setting and that I can take movies with it! I didn't know that!
I love my little camera but there are two minor (constructive) criticisms I should make. Firstly, the two standard AA batteries are not sufficient for a lengthy shoot. They konk out after about 20 pics. It's essential to pay more for special, high performance batteries (I forget the type). The second shortcoming is that I had to pay an additional approx. $30 for some kinda memory stick (again, I don't know the correct name) to allow me to take zillions of pics in one go! Even with those extras, it still cost me less than US$150, which is amazing value for such a super camera.
I think I've only taken two half-way competent photos in my life!!!
They were taken relatively recently. One of a sunset (fluke!) and the other of water irises (bit fuzzy!). I will post them when I get home tonight, in about 9 hours (presently early morning at work here in Oz).
Would appreciate your professional feedback and advice, David and Jess. :D

Please do post them Kerry! I'd love to see them. And please grab your camera sometime soon and take some pictures of Sydney for us! And if you have any questions, I and others here will be more than happy to answer them for you if we can.
