What would life be like without a digital camera? I think of how long it took me to develop film back in the stone age. 
Like how my daughter was 2 months old when I took the pictures but 1 ½ when I had them developed. Now thanks to cameras with docking stations I am able to send the photos out to friends and family moments after the picture is taken.
Last week I was able to video my daughter throwing a tantrum for the first time with the video feature on my camera. I posted the video and the next day it had been viewed 30 times. Canon cameras are also great gifts for children just starting out with photography. They can see the pictures right away and it speeds up the time it takes for them to learn the skills of picture taking. Instead of waiting days or weeks to see that they did not get all of grandma’s head in the picture they can see it in seconds. Also with the on screen menus it is easy for them to see the features a camera has and explore more with picture taking.
