New Camera
February 22nd, 2008 Matt
So after quite a few months of thinking about it I’ve finally gone out and bought myself a new compact digital camera to go with my DSLR. I went out last night looking and discovered that Hardly Normal were having a stock take sale and the camera I was interested in a Canon Ixus 75 had almost 20% off.
I went back at lunchtime today and purchased it and even managed to get out of the shop with out purchasing a memory card, camera bag, tripod or extended warranty.
I then went to PLE and got an 8Gb SD memory card which should be able to store about 4,500 images (or 2 hours of video). This will come in handy at Burning Man as I’m not sure I’ll be able to download images to a laptop for the week that we are there.
I have, on several, occasions found myself wishing I had a camera with me. The DSLR can be too bulky/heavy/conspicuous for a lot of things, this new camera can sit in my pocket. The compact obviously can’t zoom as well as my DSLR but at least I’ll be more likely to have a camera with me now. Plus the new camera can take video
*sits waiting for the battery to charge*
