2. She is a sweetie
But we think she hid the remote to the TV.

3. Regarding the camera, I'm jealous
I bought a Canon a few years ago for about $500 and that Sony would kick it's ass. How much of a delay is there between pressing the button and the actual shooting? That latency with digital cameras has put me off them for a while so I wonder if they've gotten better.

6. It seems great so far
We also have an Olympus that I paid way too much for - but I bought it 4 or 5 years ago. It takes great pics but I wanted a smaller camera I could toss in my purse.

They have another Sony that was $70 less and I wanted that one but they were out of stock. And I was too impatient to wait.

8. My Canon takes beautiful pics, too
But it seems to take an eternity before it shoots them. That Sony looks like a sweet camera (not as sweet as the dog, though). I think enough time has passed for me to buy a new camera.

7. The delay is now non-existent, or nearly so.....
My new Nikon D50 digital SLR has NO delay at all.....none discernible to me...

My little point and shoot Canon has a tiny delay......

And it is several years old.

There has been a lot of progress...

9. So it's a Canon and/or age thing
Sounds like the digitals are getting more exciting. More megapixels, less latency and, last but not least, lower prices.

14. I think it is mostly due to advances across the board...
Not just the brand.

10. Perhaps
She also knows we love her too much to get too mad at her.

12. I'm sure you can't do anythying but love her,
she's a cutie.

Have you checked the place between the sitting place and the back part of the sofa, the place where the cushions meet? I have no idea what it is called in English, but some sofas have a little space there. She might have moved the remote into it.

13. Yes we looked there.
But thanks for the suggestion.

I think she took it outside. We have a doggy door so she can go in and out as she pleases. We have to check the back yard periodically for missing stuff. She buried my favorite hat out there last summer.

It is far too cold to go out there searching today. I think she knows that too. :)
