PHOTO FINISH
Excuse me if the blogging takes back seat for awhile.
My new camera arrived yesterday.
The Canon PowerShot SD800IS Digital ELPH
Doesn't anything have a simple name anymore?
My first camera was an unnamed box top premium. The second was the Kodak Brownie Hawkeye.
I am doing pretty well with the learning curve. I think that I am more than halfway up.
I didn't try to take any serious pictures.
I have a few of my feet (intentional), John and Franklin.
All are erased.
I learned the value of the big chip I bought to replace the one that came with the camera. 9 minutes versus 9 seconds of video (which I probably will not use) and something like 350 high quality pictures.
The chip fit.
I put on the hanging strap (over the head) and began to look at the software which I do not think I will need because I have Mac Iphoto.
I dreamed about it.
Soon, I will be taking a real picture.
It is a really clean machine. The functions are intuitively obvious.
I think that I am going to like this.
What the hell does ELPH mean?
