How is She Doing That?

OK, so you'll stop begging to know: allow me to introduce you to the best $350 you'll ever spend. I bought a reconditioned Olympus Stylus Digital 400 off ebay in the fall of 2003 and became the instant digital photo queen. The bright, beautiful new Verve promises to be everything my SD400 is not, and it's everything, so hey. Just it's faster, with TruePic Turbo, and a better LCD, and it takes Quicktime video and you can buy an orange one! And not only is it pretty point-and-shoot and perfectly user-friendly, it's the sexiest piece of hardware in existence. Now I know Canon and Sony and Kodak and Hewlett-Packard and everbody have very equal products, maybe cheaper, but I just love this one. It's compact and smooth and rounded and small, and it has that expensive, heavy, quality-feel when you hold it in your hand. It's weatherproof; I've dropped mine in the snow and laughed. It's tough; I've also dropped in in the driveway. I didn't laugh, but I didn't freak or cuss, either. It's tough enough to let kids handle and not worry, and I carry it with me everywhere (honestly, 24-7) and I could still convince you it's brand-new. Now wait, a word of warning: I am also the Photoshop queen, so not all of your pictures will have the awesome graphic potential mine do, and I'm the next Georgia O'Keefe, so your artistic eye is not so naturally, brilliantly good. But with some practice, I'm sure you could pull a close second. So go, get thee a Verve; just pick a color and click 'Buy Now.' Happy shooting!
