Merry Christmas to Me

{exp:cjm_amazon:item asin=“B0011ZCDKS” response_group=“Medium”}{/exp:cjm_amazon:item}I have finally managed to replace my old camera. It was a great camera, but sadly, it was no match for the Things. They loved to take pictures with it and, as you can imagine, they ultimately broke it. So our family has been sans-camera for a while now. But no more!

Last night I ordered a Canon A590IS from Amazon. I loved my old Canon A620 and this one has 8MP (vs. 6MP for the A620) and a 4× optical zoom with image stabilization. If you’re in the market you might want to check it out as they are down around $100 (I got mine for $100, but Amazon list $110 today). The clincher for me was the ability to load the CHDK firmware on this camera and enable some very cool features. RAW image format, live histogram, bracketing, zebra striping, and the list goes on and on. Now I just have to wait for Santa…I mean, the UPS guy.

It’s so exciting to purchase a new camera. My wife recently took our camera out by dropping it several times on new years eve. I know, she shouldn’t have even had her hands on the camera due to the type of night. Anyways, we were almost due for another camera, but not quite yet. We love to photograph as much as possible. We are not professional photographers, actually we are not even amateur photographers. We just love capturing photos so we can remember the great times in our life.
