My daughter is desperate for a camera, and has her heart set on a digital SLR. Okay, I know nothing about camera's -- except to point and click. Any advice on what camera would be great for a budding photographer on a budget, around the 200 dollar mark, and something reliable? (unlike my last cheapie digital camera that drained even the most expensive batteries, turned on or off)

Reading Rewards
I've been so focused on my writing and getting the things done around the house and with my children, I've realized I have spent very little time reading! Like watching a great movie, reading a great book stimulates the imagination, fires creativity and shifts the brain into another gear. And with summer over and the cold just around the corner, visions of a warm fireplace, snuggled up with a cat or two on one side, husband on the other -- and catching up on some of my books feels almost unattainable, like a kid with their nose pressed against the glass bookshop window! Well not quite, but a great visual (g)
Some books I really want to read:
Lover Unleashed (Black Dagger Brotherhood book 9) by J R Ward
Crave (Fallen Angels book 2) by J R Ward
An Unforgettable Lady by J R Ward/Jessica Bird
The Vampire Queen's Servant (Vampire Queen #1) by Joey W. Hill

Latest Update...
I've starting writing the 3rd gargoyle book, and at this stage I'm not sure if I'll finish this first, or the alien book that is so close to completed. (blame my muse or my short attention span, whatever works LOL)
I'm also itching to start on a single title I started a while ago, but I'm trying to concentrate on my two shorts first. Then I'll probably alternate between the longer length ST and one of my older ressurections (novella length)
Okay, back to writing...
I Am Number Four
I really enjoyed this movie, despite the ho hum ratings. John, an alien disguised as a human - John Smith - is running away from other aliens who want to kill him and the few left of his race. The aliens have just killed Number three, and John is next on the list. He does of course fall in love with an earth girl, which threatens his existence. He has a guardian who helps protect him, and a dog who adopts him. And he begins to uncover powers which wouldn't be a bad skill to have =)
