Look ma! No digital!

Just a waterlily I shot using my old SLR Canon.

That is nice.
I still prefer pictures taken from my Canon Rebel SLR.
But I am just too lazy to get the pictures developed and scanned so I settle for my point & shoot digital camera.

Nice photo!! I think it is an excellent shot!

I actually dropped my camera today and broke the LCD. I am so sad. I have only had this one for about 6 months. It fell about three feet to the floor from on top of a suitcase. I picked it up, turned it on, and the display is all 'white' with color streaks. Bummer.

On a lighter note, a friend says that I should be able to have the display replaced since the camera still works. WHo knows!

Cheers,

That 'fragility' is one of the worst things about digital cams. The camera I took this pic with? Well somehow the strap came undone [still can't figure out how the heck that happened!] and the camera fell from hip level -- 3-4ft -- onto the wooden deck lens first. (Let me tell you everybody gasped as that hit.) Not only is the camera okay, the lens is fine too. The friends I was with have good quality digital cams. Their response when we realized my camera was okay? "Had that been a digital, you'd almost definitely be getting a new camera now." LOL.

That's the main reason I haven't purchased a 'nice' digital camera--in my experience they are kind of 'disposable'--something generally goes wrong after you have had it, and used it a lot, for a year or more. Or maybe I have been unlucky. I'm also not crazy about the pictures it takes, but there's no turning back for me. Even not-so-great pictures beat the ones left in the camera that never get developed.

Great waterlily picture Pavel!

I love my digital camera but it is true that it makes you lazy, I still use my 35 MM's, they are older than dirt but still take a great picture, especially B&W. Not having a darkroom makes getting film developed a pain.

Occasionally I'll take my 40-yr-old Vivitar I rescued and shoot pics of the fall colors. Nothing automatic, fully functional. All I had to do was replace the batteries for the flash and the flat battery on the light meter. (little needle in the window jobbie - love it!)
