Mom’s Digital Camera Dream
Mom’s been hunting down different digital cameras. I broke her heart I think when I told her that she wasn’t allowed to use the Sony dsc-w70 anymore and that she had to use the HP Photosmart m527 which isn’t nearly as good as the Sony. Originally, she was going to get the Sony when I went and bought an SLR, but then she was giving me crap about paying off my student loans so I’m not getting an SLR and she’s not getting the Sony and I’ve revoked her use of it as well.
She’s been all over the net looking at digital cameras and while I’m a Best Buy loyalist, Grandma used to work for Ritz camera (which was wolf camera before that and fox photo before that), and thus, mom’s been all over the Ritz camera website.
She did find a camera that she wants though, and to be completely honest, I’m jealous, I wanted a new camera. But, this is all my own doing, I wouldn’t let her use the Sony anymore. So instead of beautiful crisp pictures of her beautiful Lily Bird:
She’s getting something far less desirable, so much less desirable that I won’t even post it to Flickr. The Sony is so crisp and clear and if you view the large format of that picture, you can see the goodness of my Sony camera (my bird has eyelashes, that’s goodness from a digital camera).
But in cameras, she think she’s found the best in it’s class, which means that she’s done her research and dad’s helped, and dad knows something about cameras. The camera she’s decided she wants is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8K.
So, mom, you’re gonna get your camera, and me, I’m going to be depressed that you get the new toy, but you’ll be able to produce the photos that I am currently prohibiting. I will however feel a whole lot better that I can run around with my camera in my pocket and take pictures at my leisure. Do you know how difficult it is to take pictures of cool things like that caterpillar hanging from the tree when my digital camera is at home for your use instead of in my backpack for my use. You get your Panasonic and I get my daily photo, like this one of the mutant moth
