The trouble with Friday’s post was that it was written long ago when I still had the Fuji camera. I quit agonizing about my camera troubles the very next day because I finally ordered one that meets all my requirements: fits in my pocket, has the right-sized memory stick and charges with a cable/dock! It’s perfect!
Look familiar? No, it’s not the old one. Here’s the old one.
Lloyd and I both got some pretty good shocks taking that apart the night it died. (Me because I foolishly didn’t take the battery out, Lloyd because the flux capacitor for the flash discharged. It had over 30 tiny screws holding it together.)
I’m such a sheep. I don’t take good photos with it, but it turns out that I don’t take good photos with any camera. Plus, I had all the stuff for this one already, which was a good thing. This was an open-box buy (meaning it was on sale), and the package was missing a cable. See? I’m supposed to have it.
Now if I can just keep from dropping it.
You should dip it in that latex coating they sell for hardware tools. Then it would have a protective cover that nothing could get through.
Don’t tempt me…..
That camera is so cute. Where did you find it? And, an open box deal, no less!
So, what’s the difference between a flux capacitor and an electrolytic capacitor?
You have to travel 88mph for the flux capacitor to work.
I got one of those soft rubber cases for my cell phone, so that if (no, when) I drop it, it will sorta bounce, rather than breaking. I wonder if they have anything like that for cameras…
I’m confused…did you get the same camera you had? Or did you just get a “DIY” camera kit that you had to put together yourself?
It’s a new camera, same style as the old dead one. I actually ordered this one in ‘glamour gold’, but they accidentally sent the black one. That’s ok -- he offered a refund to ‘make me forget about the color’, which was funny enough to accept!
Beth, I got it on Amazon.com. God bless the internet.
So you got the new one for free?!?
No, just $30 off.
But 30 bucks is 30 bucks! Good for you!
Thank you!
