Well....Here's what I got for Christmas!!!

Sony Cybershot U30 mini digital camera. This is simply amazingly small and
takes really good pics, though no match for my other gift from Suzanne, a
Minolta Z1!!! I'm selling the G2 now on Ebay since the Z1 is that much more
useable with it's 10X Zoom and HQ video mode. The tiny sony will be the "boat
camera."
Extra memory and cases for the above cameras.
A copy of And the Sea Will Tell in paperback
A lot of Bed Bath and Beyond gifts cards (for Suzanne and I)
A lot of circuit city gift cards
Two heavy sweatshirts that say "Still Plays with Boats!"
New headphones for my cell phone
A 100.00 gift card to West Marine!
9K from my father, which was odd given the fact that we're all paid up. It will
go into our "next boat" fund.
Quite a few DVDs.
One light sailing jacket
A new 17 inch Sony flat screen monitor!
A really nice ice scraper for the Outback!
And a bunch of other items I can't remember.

We spent Xmas day with close friends, cooking up two chickens and ham. Everyone
brought a dish and we cracked open some good wine. Saturday we drove to PA to
dine with my folks....A great holiday was had by all!!!
Hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did.

Sounds like a good time, but no rum?

Well done, Joe.

You paid less than free?
Fuji digital cameras trail the pack.
Canon, Minolta, OIympus and Nikon are among the better consumer/prosumer units.
Sony is also okay for lower cost units.

Two bottles of IW harper for the boat. I may even have a little....but just a
little.

Try again. Yours has a plastic lens. Mine has a glass lens by Zeiss.

Yea, that's why Sony is the only manufacture to give the customer a Carl
Zeiss lens on step up models. Oh, and by the way Sony just introduced an 8
mega pixel camera. When is Fuji's comming?
Digital cameras .......... just another thing the dimwit Boob knows nothing
about.

Strange, my digital Hasselblad has a Zeisss lens. I can name several more
digital camera that have Zeiss lens. Seems like Sony is not exclusive on
this.

Fuji has 12 megapixel/picture storage. Does Sony?

Fuji's interleaving format has higher efficiency compression algorithms than
Sony's.
