I finally ordered my new camera! I've been without one since my trusty old Pentax film camera died a few months ago. It was time to go digital, and I've been researching what's available for some time. I don't need a lot of sophisticated features, but I'm very picky about image quality, especially since I often enlarge and crop photos for various projects. I also wanted a decent zoom and an option for manual controls. And I didn't want to spend a fortune.

I just ordered myself a Canon Powershot A650 IS, a 12-megapixel camera with a 1/1.7 sensor, image stabilization, and a 6X zoom. And I should have it in time for my trip to New Hampshire to visit my sister this month. Yay!

Here's a picture of my new baby:

Sweet! I've always liked the Canon interface.

That's encouraging. I've never used a Canon, so I'm jumping in blind here, except for a lot of online research.

Who Am I?

I am a published author of 28 books for children and young adults, a former magazine editor, and mom to an 8th-grader. My published works include 20 books for Sweet Valley High and other teen fiction series, all written under pseudonyms. My nonfiction kids' books, written under my own name, are on topics ranging from Dragons to Stonehenge to the Cherokee Indians. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, drawing, photography, traveling, overthrowing the governments of small countries, befriending dragons, slaying demons, and ruining my son's life by making him do his homework.
