Think about what your objective is. If you are only interested in taking consistently presentable snap shots of friends, family, and vacations, any of the programed options will meet your needs. If you really want to learn photography, and with that knowledge, increase your skills as a photographer, go manual. I remember instructors in various photo classes I have take insisting that we only used slide film and manual cameras. That was the best way to learn how to control exposure, and by controlling exposure get the very best photos you can produce.

I would suggest you go to a local electronics or computer retailer and talk to them about an external hard drive. The biggest you can afford. Flash drives are small in many ways, and you will soon outgrow them.

Call your local police. This may fall within your state's jurisdiction under "Cyber Bullying." May not work, but it's worth a shot. At the worst, your neighbor will understand that you will be there to protect children...

Damn, I love living here. Thanks for the reminder....

I have been capturing photographic images for more years than I care to admit, and someday I hope to get good at it.

I live close to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and spend a lot of time in the trees.

Great shot! I get to wake up every morning and watch the sunrise over the Tetons. Idaho side or course.
