Uni resumes TOMORROW! I don't think I'm finished holidaying yet!
I bought a new camera today as my old one isn't sounding like it'll last the distance when I'm away. A Canon Ixus 70. Looks like a nice piece of camera. The guy at the shop was very impressed with my interrogation. I made a shortlist according to price, features and size/shape, then asked four questions about the four shortlisted cameras.
1. Do any of these use AA batteries rather than a rechargeable one? (No)
2. What storage medium does each camera use? (this eliminated the Sony - there'll be no memory stick pro duos!)
3. Which ones take good pictures? (Pentax was behind the other two - out of the race!)
4. Anything that makes one of these better than the other? Canon has a viewfinder! Sold!
The camera-selling guy actually looked like the bald Mythbusters guy come to think of it.
