Kinda wanted to buy a DSLR, but I didn't think it was right to get one yet. I'm just starting to get into photography, so...

The zoom is kinda disappointing in this camera, but I like the quality.

Yeah, corny... but I don't care.

Any tips for a beginner?

Well I'd like to see some photos that you have taken with this camera....
For beginner, I'd reccomend to read some of the following:

Thanks for that. I'm going to look into it as soon as I get the chance.

I'm waiting for the two 2GB SD cards that I bought.

Did it not come with a memory card?

Yup but it's just 32 MB, and my mom wanted to use my camera, so I thought I'd just let her use that card up.
