It all started less than a year ago. I had nice, handy Minolta digital camera that I carried everywhere in my shirt pocket. While wading, I leaned over and dropped it into the Irish Sea. Then I dropped my first Canon 750 into our hot tub.Next, a little over a week ago, I was carrying my second Canon 750 in my pocket when, as happened several times before, something bumped the on-off switch, turning the camera on (and, unfortunately, opening and extending the lens away from the camera body). It seems that the heavy bag I was carrying on my shoulder then smashed into the camera in my pocket, destroying the mechanism. Another camera bit the dust.Results: all my photos from Yorkshire and from the Eastbourne hospital were taken on my cell phone (low resolution). I think I will wait awhile before purchasing yet another piñata digital camera. I really want quality photographs, portability, and convenience, but I guess I have to alter my lifestyle even more in my use of a small digital camera. I had already stopped carrying it in my shirt pocket, having lost two of them into the water from my shirt pocket. But carrying the camera in my pants pocket is how I destroyed the last one. Maybe I just need to take a bit more time to think about different options at different times. I'm not too good at that, it seems. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
