Lost my Camera :(

I lost my camera and I am sooo bummed. I imagine that one of the kids took off with it. Needless to say I probably won't ever see it again in one piece. It will be awhile before I can get another one. Especially since my son's birthday is next month and Christmas is shortly after that. Bummer cause around this time of year I take a lot of pictures (holiday pictures, birthday parties, etc) My son had a field trip last week that i would have loved to get pictures of but no camera to be found. So it looks like I am in the market. I will spend the next couple months comparing pricing, features,reviews, etc. Wish me luck!
