New Camera

I have killed two FijiFilm cameras each in a one year span. With each FijiFilm I got, I took over 8,000 pictures in less than a year and at the end of the camera's lifespan, 4 out of 6 pictures were coming out black. Just black, no image, no shadow, just black. So since I love taking pictures (obviously), it was time to, once again, splurge on a new camera. But since my budget has become "inconveniently" limited now, I set a "camera allowance" of no more than $200. So I looked around last night online and decided on one, instead of making this an all year project. So I chose the Cannon PowerShot. Not the $300 or $800 one I really wanted, but this will do fine. I came home and snapped two or three pictures and the battery went dead on the camera....sigh....so I took the wall charger that was in the box and shoved the battery in it and it's plugged into the wall now charging. Here's two pictures that I got so far with my new camera. Trust me, I didn't buy this camera for nothing.....I will be using and abusing it will all the pictures I'm going to take on my time off :)

I'm going to try an x-large size of this picture and see how it comes out on the blog page.

And this is the "large" size picture.....BlogSpot makes it so convenient to re-size pictures on the whim! :)

And this is what my new camera looks like!! It's a Canon PowerShot ELPH 100HS (the link will take you to the Canon page to see details about it).......here are some pictures of it (done with my Blackberry camera of course) :)

OH, I have to tell you what else I did today! I went Blueberry picking this morning.....and since Blueberry picking was done before camera shopping, these following pictures were done with my Blackberry camera! :)

Well it's almost 1pm now and my Saturday isn't even half way done yet......so I'm going to check if my new camera battery is charged up yet and I'm not sure what we are doing the rest of the day yet, but I'll be sure to let ya know! :)
