Latest purchase.

Yesterday I made an impulse buy. Actually, I don't think it can really be considered an impulse buy, since I've been wanting a new digital camera for a really long time now. And yesterday afternoon I found a really awesome deal, so I jumped all over it.

Don't get me wrong, I love my old digital camera. Even though it's over 4 years old and sort of big and boxy and the LCD screen is tiny and the "zoom" is laughable, it still takes some great photos. And it's documented fabulous times: two stints in London, four Christmases, two Hawaiian vacations, friends' weddings, a cruise, Harry Potter midnight showings, graduation, moving to New York City...But now it's time to say goodbye, camera. We had a good run, but we always knew this wouldn't last forever. I'm trading you in for a younger, sexier model:



Sleek design, image stabilization, better zoom, double the megapixels, and a nice LCD display. And the best part is, this camera cost less than half of what I paid for my old one 4 years ago. Technology!

Edit: OMG IT JUST ARRIVED! I ordered it yesterday, with regular (free!) shipping. My life is a totally kick-A fairytale.

  3. Tamara - I found the deal on SlickDeals. The deal is from Dell (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?sku=A1494440&cs=19&c=us&l=en&dgc=CJ&cid=24471&lid=566643), the coupon code is ?ZZL7GW20P5$SK and last I checked it was still working. Let me know if you have any trouble.

    Mars - I think yours is the SD750, right? I think I remember asking you when you were here because I was trying to decide. The one I got is the SD1100 and it's new this year. So THERE!

  5. Okay, I'm slightly bitter because I have your old camera and still love it, and you've had two Hawaiian vacations.

  7. That's a svelte, sexy beast of a camera.
    I bought one (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/largeimages/539473.jpg) a few months ago because the old one had fallen into one too many swimming pools.



    and, um... Your Ex-lover is Dead IS a pretty sweet track.
