I would only get a $300-$400 gift for a girl if she got those type of gifts for me. If she has then great, you come out even. If she doesn't then the next time you have sex with her you may as well leave $300 on the nightstand when you're done.

Well then it's cool. I like the Canon Powershot SD550, the Nikon Coolpix 7900 and the Nikon S1 (I think that's the model number) that's very similar to the Sony. I never liked Sony cameras, but that's just me.

get the Canon SD series. PM me for more details, I do photography and camera retail on the side--I'll give you reason to get the Canon series and the physics behind why the Canon SD series is better. Ignore all the reviews and idiot sales people at mass-sale retail stores.
