The Best Camera

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

The best camera, of course, is the one you have with you. My wife has recently talked about missing the days when her camera was easy to throw in her purse and just have with her. Now that she owns a Nikon D70, it requires a little more than that to make sure she has a camera with her. (cell phone notwithstanding, she hasn’t been satisfied with the camera in her cell phone, unlike my experience with the iPhone)

Given this predicament, I decided to pick up a point and shoot for her birthday, and found a pretty good deal on a Canon Powershot A1100IS. I leave it to her to comment on the performance of the camera, as I haven’t used it.

It does, however, make me wonder how many other DSLR owners regularly carry around another camera because sometimes it’s just too much to pack up the whole kit? Or are you just using cell phones now? What’s your best advice for having a camera with you whenever you might need it?

I expect it to be similar to last year, there won’t be as many opportunities to socialize with my old contacts and attendees, because I’ll be trying…

    I was recently very disappointed to see that the tool I had been using, and had mentioned before, for copying photos from Flickr over to Facebook, had shutdown. Since I had just uploaded photos to Flickr and wanted to cross-post them to Facebook so my FB friends could see them, comment and like them, I…

    Waiting for ETSU game to startOriginally uploaded by mikemac29We had a good time at the games in Dayton Friday afternoon, even though both ETSU, my wife’s alma mater, and Tennessee lost. Both games were close, and very entertaining, and that’s all you could ask when you’re rooting for the lower seeds. The ETSU fans did…

    I’m sure most of you have read the paper about Class Divisions between users of MySpace and Facebook, or at least you have seen someone blogging about it. I’m not going there. I was curious to try out Facebook simply because I’ve been reading so many things about the available applications, and how much nicer…

  • Long Weekend

    It’s been an enjoyable, if not productive, weekend. With everything going on at work, being busy learning all sorts of new things, putting in some weekend work, etc., it was nice to really just spend some time with the wife, who’s had her own issues with working a lot of the time lately, my family…
