Digital Camera!
Thanks to my parents and my uncle, through their generosity (and my upcoming 21st birthday) I now am the proud owner of a Canon PowerShot A70 digital compact camera. For those too lazy to click on the link, its essential stats are:
- 3.2 megapixels
- CompactFlash slot
- a ridiculous number of automatic shooting modes
- 3x optical zoom
- optical viewfinder
And other stuff like that. It’s nice. For a sample, here is a photo of my parents’ wonderful kitchen (now you see why I hate the one at Uni so much, I’m a snob). This was taken at max resolution, then scaled down by 50% so it wouldn’t kill my poor little modem when I uploaded it. I need cable!!!
Looks cool. Seems to have better red balance than my camera. I usually scale pictures to 800×600 or 640×480 if I’m putting them online en masse.

Yeah, well I was just being lazy really! Also wanted to show off the resolution, but I thought the full 3.2 megapixels would be a bit silly.

I’ll pass that along to my parents shall I?

I wouldn’t… passing along x3ja’s drool is slightly more dangerous than passing the salt…

Good point. I should have remembered that.
