I vowed at the beginning of this year that I was going to buy a new camera for myself no matter what. But since January, what has been the most frustrating for me is the fact, I went store to store and website to website searching for the perfect camera and then found excuses to talk myself out of doing so. 

Just so you understand, for a while now my 6-year-old camera was beginning to show its age with  the poor quality photos and  deteriorating battery life and today  just when I was taking my very last photo of the house I sold, the screen image turned orange and I heard several clicks and then there it was.   May the Cannon I had for 6 years rest in peace.

After I turned over the keys to the real estate agent, I walked into Best Buys and purchased a camera my friend had suggested a while back, the Cannon Powershot and came home with the peach colored box and set it on my desk to tend to my usual day-to-day life.  I do this when I am nervous with my impulsive shopping. But I cannot live without a camera, it’s my drug of choice.

Finally at about 10p.m. I decided to open the box and take the camera out of the packaging in order to investigate my purchase.  I just want to make sure I made the right decision.    

Anyway, I decided to charge the battery while I typed this blog entry and tomorrow for my birthday I plan to  test it out. Wish me luck and stay tuned with the photo results.  

In the meantime, I would love to hear from cannon powershot owners, so please drop me a line about your experience.
