New Camera

I got a new camera! Been a long time since I got a new camera. Zip back to 2000 when I got a Canon G1. I paid over $900 dollars for it. Got a ton of accessories and batteries and packs, blah blah blah. I still have that camera. I can still take infrared pics with it at least. There's one on ebay with 4 bids for 10 bucks. The latest version is the G12 and it tops out at the market high end price of $500 dollars.

I just wanted the smallest and lightest camera I could get. I was using my wife's Canon A70 for a while. Crude, but for a snapshot it was fine. It was just too big for cycling or running, not to mention a complete battery hog. My new camera is a Nikon S3000 which only weighs 4.1 ounces with a battery. It's as small as it gets, about the size of a credit card and half an inch thick. The pic quality is decent enough and the price was 130.00, which was very decent.

So expect more pics in the coming weeks. Maybe even some video.

Oh and I think Nicole is losing all organization. Tell that to the people in Wilmington! But for the Gulf area, good thing my Nostradamus skills are bogus. Course I didn't give an exact plus or minus, and I say there is still an open prediction of formation till sunday which is unlikely thank goodness.
