You might know that the one main thing I am wishing for this Christmas is a new digital camera that will be easy for me to use and shoot good, quality video with clear sound (the feature that is most lacking in my current compact camera). After all, I've got to work on that winning entry to America's Funniest Home Videos! 
Well, maybe I can win a new camera! For the Love of 2 Cents is hosting a giveaway, sponsored by Samsung Imaging, of one of Samsung's new dual touchscreen cameras. Though the shutter button is still a physical button on top of the camera, all of the other controls have been moved to a highly responsive touchscreen like the one on the iPhone. Getting rid of all of those tiny buttons would sure make my life easier. The second screen on the front of the camera helps frame self portraits, displays a countdown for timer shots, and can even display colorful images designed to hold a small child's attention so you can catch them looking at the camera. That's helpful to just about anyone. And the camera shoots high definition video at 720p resolution and 30 frames per second.
I'm generating as many entries into this drawing as I can - wish me luck!
