New camera!

After almost a year of consideration, I finally upgraded my digital camera. My old Canon Powershot A70 is still in reasonably good working condition, but its weight at 315g(?) & size always made me think twice about bringing it out.

I decided to pamper myself with a new Canon Ixus 860IS camera. It's still a little heavy at 155g(?) but the sleek design & size makes me want to bring it along whenever I go out. However it cost me a bomb at $610. Other brands offer similar features at a lower price, but I prefer Canon cameras because my old Canon camera served me well for 4 years. My sister has a Canon Ixus camera too. It's an older model but her photos always turn out very well -- sharp images with vivid colors.

I'm $610 poorer but happy with my new camera. Next on my list is a new laptop....... *in my dreams*
