It just quit on me
I'm a bit sad, really. I've had this camera for the last few years, four and a half in all, taken thousand of photos with it, and now it has gone and retired itself. It just won't take any more pictures. It's a Canon IXUS 400 which I got in June 2003, and it has been with me just about everywhere I've been since. And I've taken pictures of just about everything I could find. The index number on the last shot I took with it, which was last Christmas Eve, is 23790, and it decided to quit while I was trying to take a photo of the cat sleeping underneath the Christmas tree a couple of days later. I've no idea what's supposed to be wrong with taking photos of cats under Christmas trees, or what the cat might possibly have done to the camera when I wasn't watching, but the camera obviously didn't like it much, got fed up with it all, and is now permanently no longer on speaking terms with memory cards.
So, my dear friend since summer of '03 and unto this fateful Thursday, Christmas 2007, I guess it's time to face the end of our working days together, to go our separate ways where you'll confine yourself to a desolate spot on the bookshelf for cameras and outdated technology of yesteryear, and I'll be on the lookout for someone younger, prettier and above all thinner, who will take your place to be at my beck and call and go even further in the quest to fulfill my every want and need.
No, seriously folks, it's a camera I'm talking to here ;-)
I think they may have the IXUS 70 at the nearby electro shop, at a reasonably reasonable price. With a bit of luck I may get hold of one before the fireworks on New Year's Eve.
Incidentally, this is the 666th picture taken with my Sony Ericsson K750i mobile phone.
Thinning Down
The world is flat, especially online. An ad-hoc small group comparison clearly favored the new Samsung i320 Smartphone. The thinness is striking…. And it has a 1.3MP camera and 120MB of memory for the flickrites.
The ergonomic loser is the Sony Ericsson M600i with the infamous feel of the IBM PCjr keyboard, and the Nokia clamshell.
The Blackberry, Treo and Nokia E61 are looking fat, not phat.
