Ever. Srsly. I see lots of women with them, including middle-aged women, and I see lots of women asking them what the brand is and what features it has and how it works. I had assumed the reason I never see men with cameras was that they think they see photography as a gay profession and taking snapshots as something sappy that women do because we're naturally sentimental, and they're terribly afraid of losing their Mr. Het Man status with the boys. But hey, I could conclude they just don't understand how to push a button. ;) I never see men wielding digital cameras. Ever. Srsly.

Dr. Phil opened his, a Sony digital hand cam, and he proclaimed instantly about how it was a quintessential guy's gift...while every woman in the audience and his <em>wife</em> all oohed and ahhed about it as much as he did. But apparently they did so because it was pretty or something. They couldn't possibly have appreciated such a tech gift otherwise. ::rolls eyes:: I watched about 3 minutes of Dr. Phil yesterday, during which he and his wife got gifts from someone.
