New Toy
My first point ‘n’ shoot – the Canon Powershot SD100 – bit the dust long ago. It was the victim of careless treatment on my part and ended up with a cracked screen that, although pretty looking in a sort-of lava lamp 60s trip-out type of way, prevented one from seeing anything on the screen.
My second – a hand-me-down from my mother in the form of a Canon PowerShot S400 – did not last long before a terrible pink tinge overcame every photo it took. It was used after all. No complaints here.
In fact, no complaints on either camera. The first was a flippin’ stalwart little guy that was small enough to take almost anywhere. The second, a tad larger, due it’s using a larger memory card format, was equally transportable. Canon has been good to me.
So, naturally, I switched brands.
To be honest, as good as Canon is, I think it has gone to their heads as their cameras are a good $50 more expensive, at the least, as other brands. I did a fair bit of research and, so, this is what I decided upon (the link is to the FS3, not the FS5 as, even though I have pics uploaded using my camera, there seems to be no reference to them via flickr’s camera finder function). TIme will tell if the decision was a sound one but, damn, if it isn’t nice to have a camera again.

You have gotten a camera 2?
I was looking at the same model but it was a while ago, you know the rest. I will get some photos out I promise.

I am really likin’ it. It’s a bit different than my old Canon but the fun is all in learning how to get as much as you can from the camera you’ve got. And, of course, pushing yourself to “find the photo” in whatever situation you may be in. I look forward to your pics.
