For the last several months I've been in denial about my digital camera. It cost me almost four hundred dollars six years ago, and because of that I have always placed such major value on it.
When the shutter started sticking, it didn't matter; I just pried it apart with my fingertip. Last fall when we had to remove the program that uploads the photos, I remember thinking that I could find the driver online.
Last week when we got the new kitten, Rogue, I tried taking a few photos but to no avail. Not only does the button stick, but the computer won't recognize the device to upload the photos.
I believe it's time to get something new. I still can't afford to get the type of camera I'd like, but a pocket digital will satisfy my need to post pics on blogspot and facebook.
Have a nice Sunday!
That's the thing about technology moving so fast. What cost you that much six years ago is probably under a hundred bucks now. I remember spending $800 on a stereo when I was in university (I don't know what I was thinking) and now those sets are like $50.
ReplyDeletewell, a few years ago...i bought a coolpix 8700 and it cost me almost a grand. now fast forward to modern technology and a much better camera with technology that eliminates the shaky blurred photos and the same camera costs about $350 and is half the size. sony(i think) makes a beautiful little digital that sells for just over a hundred.
ReplyDeletePoint and shoots are still a viable option. The photos are good, they shoot video, and they're inexpensive.
ReplyDeleteDitto what Doug said. I've been shopping around for a new camera too and won't spend the big bucks for the one I want. There's a seller in NY who sells on ebay where I bought my Nikon and prices were excellent. The research and shopping takes time. Retail is so expensive.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate ! My Digi is a Kodak Easy Share Z1285 and only cost under $150. It takes vids ( really good ones!) and also is great for me being a non-professional !
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see new pics coming from the frozen area of Canada you call home!!!!
ReplyDeleteA good time to pop in and say hi.
ReplyDeleteThis Sony is a nice shirt-pocket camera:

Here is a very good Canon, too:

The Kodaks like Sunny's do quite well, too. If you want something bigger, let me know. I enjoy this sort of research. BTW---the site I linked to is where I buy my equipment. I trust them.

I definitely feel ya on this one -- it's hard to spend that kind of money on something & then have to replace it in a few years! A word of advice though -- don't buy the Sanyo S120 -- it takes less than great pictures! :(
ReplyDeleteHi Kate. I have a Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS and love it. I carry it in my pocket everywhere I go and I almost forget it's there, it's so small and light. Hope you can share some of your beautiful landscape with us soon.
ReplyDeleteRegards,

Hey! Nice to see everyone. I really like Powershots, I've had two. Jamie had a kodak she liked.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the links, I'm off to peruse right now!!
