realized that the chance of my dad getting a digital slr for me is incredibly slim, so decided to conduct my own crash course on the olympus c5050. as i have frustratedly found out, it is a lot harder to use and less intuitive than the nikon d70. everything is digital (this is the main reason) instead of knobs and dials, and anyone'd get really pissed when you have to dig a user manual to figure out how to manual focus or adjust shutter speeds/aperture settings.
i also took ages to figure out if the camera actually took the picture (there's no click or shutter sound). ended up checking the lcd all the time, and eventually using the lcd to aim (hate lcd screens).
however, the c5050 is actually really a very good camera and i'd accredit all its perceived pitfalls and seemingly inadequacies to my ignorance and myself being a dumbass.
