It turns out I got my Christmas wish, after all! A digital camera to call my own!
Well, once I actually get it it will be my own. It's arriving in four shipments. A few days ago I got the spare battery. A couple of days later I got the case. And I suppose the 4 GB memory card will arrive well before the actual camera does.
When it finally does come, what a treat it will be, luxuriating in EIGHT whole megapixels of resolution -- the deep end of the pool! Which is a full 6.2 times the megapixels that my camera phone has. And to load photos directly to my computer or even printer instead of texting them to my e-mail -- that'll be a whole new level of convenience.
It's not the most advanced camera on earth, but I found I can do a lot with a little. Before the camera phone, I was using a little compact FILM camera, which I came to prefer over dragging around the big old clunky and expensive SLR. Anyway, I always managed to get good pictures.
So it's small, it's pretty, and most of all, it's blue. I believe I will name it ... Bluey.
