The One with Reading the Manual

If given the choice, I would love to have a DSLR, nonetheless I am still much loved my pink Ixus. Took thousands of photos with it. It's either a birthday or an anniversary gift, I can't recall which and  it is from hubba :) 

Since myself & roomies will be travelling soon, am back reading the manual. I believe it can do wonders.. I've seen loads of beautiful pics taken by other Ixus. Wish me luck! ;)
