In the Cook household, that is.
We finally, finally, FINALLY decided to get a digital camera. I've wanted one for a long time, obviously, but felt it was too expensive. Well, two things persuaded me otherwise. The first was the Father's and Son's campout. Between the cost of film and developing, we must have spent a good $80 on pictures. That's a camera right there. But it didn't quite click with me then, because I wasn't the one actually at the store shelling out the cash for that. And because it's a rare thing for us to buy/develop so much film.
The second thing that finally did it was when I bought film the other day. That stuff is expensive. The only reason I was doing it was so I could take pics of Leeanne and Jenna, and the boys' Spring Sing concert, otherwise I would have just skipped it. I stood there in the store mentally adding up the cost of developing those rolls of film. Then I thought about all the pictures we'd be taking during our Texas trip coming up and our campout in July. I thought "we could just buy a digital camera for less than all that." So that's what we did.
Course, I have no desire to pay retail for a camera. Ebay is perfect for stuff like that. So I did a little bit of research and got a nice camera for a smokin good deal.
It ships on Saturday. Squeee!!

Congratulations! Don't worry, I'm probably a little behind you (in the 21st century thing) as we DO NOT have cable or satellite and just BARELY got the kind of internet that you pay for. We're kinda cheap. It's pretty funny, actually, we got a flat screen TV for Christmas, mounted it to our wall to make it look nice, and then we go and put rabbit ears up. Nice. It looks a bit ghetto.
sweet! canon power shots are great cameras. mine is four and a half years old and still takes pretty good pictures. it's just now starting to peeter out, but when it works, it still works good. i'm excited for you. btw, last night said, do you know what kind of camera the cooks have? i couldn't tell. ha ha, we've been looking at cameras so he notices everyone's. i told him it wasn't a digital camera so that's probably why he couldn't figure it out. welcome to the 21st century. it's cool. :)
If you dont mind me asking- what sold you on this one? Ours is on the fritz so we are looking for a new one.
LOL Jodi! I have ZERO desire for cable because TV just irritates me in general. I'm annoyed about the whole HDTV thing cuz come next year I'm going to have to buy a new TV AND pay for cable. Yuck! I'm tempted to go TV free and just use the one we have now for movies. We'll see. Your ghetto TV sounds awesome!
