The presents keep coming for me this year! My parents thoughtfully let us decide what we wanted for Christmas, and just gave us the money to make it happen. Based on how frequent I take and post pictures, and the fact that my Fujifilm finepix camera was 2 megapixels, 4 years old, and slow functioning, a new digital camera seemed like the perfect thing to spoil myself. After much research and store searching, say hello to my new Canon Powershot SD600.
I love my fujifilm, and I hope to use it occasionally still as a back-up camera, as it has nice 6x optical zoom and runs on regular batteries instead of a built-in. But the other reason I wanted a new camera is that my fujifilm is bulky. The compact models are much better for travel, something I tend to do a lot. My new canon is about the same size as my photo ipod.
All were taken without a flash. Check out that dim restaurant! It was darker than it appears, I wouldn’t have even tried to take a picture with my old camera. Thanks Mom and Dad!
I realize now that these images are taking way too long to upload. I’ll fiddle with blogger settings to get them into more manageable sizes for posting.
My other present from my folks that I bought myself is . . . .
a little fishy! Mom got me this sweet wall aquarium at mod livin’.
She has no idea 🙂
Nice camera. But what I’m really jealous of is Old Chicago. If only there were one closer than four hours away, then I could eat my favorite pizza more regularly.
Nate Ralston has the SD600 and he was showing it off at this party that featured marriage, babies, XBox 360 ownership, a fire pit, smores, and 21 year old girlfriends.
Nate kept putting it in night vision mode and looking for the “shot of the evening” but was really getting on people’s nerves. At one point he asked Maria Trigg to take off her shirt and Aaron Stites said “This is f—ing enough, Nate. Go f— yourself with your stupid camera you piece of Anglican trash.”
We then each ate over 50 hot wings.
Karl, I will buy you a double deckeroni the next time we are both in GJ.
